Grandma
has always lived a simple life. She is
very content with what she has and the simple things make her happy. She is not
drawn to the fancy things in life. Her
example of contentment is an example for all of us to follow.
Handful of Weeds
This song was
recorded by Sheri Easter.
Verse 1
Four years old
with dirt on my face
I'd been out
in the yard pickin' dandelions all day
I burst
through the front door when I'd gathered enough
To give to my
Mom to show her my love
When I hold
out my hands, she looked down at me
And said
"I've never seen flowers as beautiful as these."
Chorus:
She's the one
who told me about Jesus
She's the one
who taught me to sing
She deserves a
armful of roses
But she's
satisfied with a handful of weeds.
Verse 2
Now that I'm older
and out on my own,
I wish I could
find more time to make it back home
I could've
done better I know in my heart
Than to
scribble a note on a last minute card
But then she
calls on the phone
"I've
read this card over and over again."
Chorus:
She's the one
who told me about Jesus
She's the one
who taught me to sing
But she's
satisfied with a handful of weeds.
Bridge:
She's always
known what true love means
And I want her
to know what she means to me
Chorus:
She's the one
who told me about Jesus
She's the one
who taught me to sing
She deserves a
armful of roses
But she's
satisfied with a handful of weeds.
Tag:
She's more
than satisfied with a handful of weeds.
