Gone Home He ran the race to the end, 89 years he lived tired arms, always raised in praise every breath, a word of love for God kicked the devil in the knee, he did Closed ears still heard the word he saw an amen, and knew when to grin his seat in the pew will be empty now but only for a little while ... Told how mama set a rock by a tree one for each son, a reminder to pray that each would be saved ... he found his way, one sweet summer day In a calm surrender he went home today forever to run in meadows of green walk streets of gold, and hear angels sing Never forget ... the rocks will cry out if you don't praise the Lord ~BloomingRose~ |

Blooming Rose, You have shared something so beautiful!! How could I think of tears with the peace you have brought to this piece? So sorry for your earthly loss, so thankful for the life he led and shared with someone like you to write about. Thank you so much for this one. Love, Marcy |

Sunshine... glad you like  Alle... This man was someone I watched every Sunday for several years. Though I did not know him very well, what an impact he made on most who heard him speak or observed his way of praise. I heard yesterday he went home. I can just see that grin... |

Simply lovely piece Blooming. What a wonderful tribute to this gentle man. Isn't great to be able to picture his grin and know he is in true peace. Thanks for sharing this. Bonnie |

 Well, I guess we had better Praise the Lord then... Don't want to be outdone by no rocks. What a lovely tribute to one of the elders in the church. It is amazing how certain aspects of a person's life remain with us. I am for certain as the angels rejoice as they have heard your poem, once again that grin will cross his face. God Bless You, Bob <>< |
