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.
