In the Arms of God

In memory of Blake Moorman Burnett Passed on 1-25-11 at age 29.


A man so young
Maybe even a boy
Is gone forever

But in his place
He left a hope
That he is happy.

Living in joy
Living in peace
Living in the arms of God.

He is gone for now
But his memory will live in us
Until the day we see him again.

Thank you to both of you. It was read at church the Sunday after the funeral.
