Vine Covered Shack
by Marilyn Schnepp On the south side of town, In a vine covered shack Lived an old man named Dixon Whom they called Uncle Jack.. "No money for paint", The old man once said, So he covered his castle With green vines instead! The roof was patched And his floors were bare, But he thought himself rich Cause he owned a good chair! He'd sit there alone In his rocker each night And read his Bible By the candlelight.. One night he was reading About Mansions Up There, When he started to nod... Falling asleep in his chair. ^^^ Suddenly he was standing On a street paved with gold In front of a mansion That was a delight to behold! The windows were Diamonds And trimmed in white Pearls; And a roof made of Stardust With Rainbow- type swirls! And the sign on the door! ...Wow! What a surprise! He thought it said "Dixon" So he blinked his eyes! ^^^ Opening his eyes He was now fully aware.. So he bowed his head And sent up this prayer: "Thank you, Dear Lord, For that Mansion so fine! But some vines on the roof Would be simply divine!" Can be reached at [email protected] Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
