A Tribute to my Son-in-law



Tears of sorrow flow here on earth.
    He said,”I know you miss me, but        
       what a rebirth”.

The scene I saw when I opened my eyes
   is beyond anything I could ever describe.

The Bible is true-streets of gold and precious      
      stones.
  And Praise the Lord, there are no cell    
      phones!

Phones aren’t needed to communicate,
    you just have to look on our Savior’s face.

I’ll see you again in a blink of the eye
   But for now, I must say goodbye.

I’ll always be with you, in light and in dark,
   alive in your memories down deep in your          
      Heart.
