by Frank Lee Jennings, father

Enough, enough of many things
That living life can often bring
Work with trouble, grief with pain
Repeat themselves with oft refrain

Enough I say then turn my gaze
From dark enoughs to brilliant praise
Of things so dear so common place
That daily stream before my face

My constant view now not enough
Of daily common wondrous stuff
To see these faces new each day
And sweetest voices in the way

Not enough of front porch swings
While mountain twilight falls
Or peals of laughter from their rooms
And scuffling in the hall

Not enough the freckled smile
And small arms reaching round
Then little kiss placed on my face
While “love you dad” resounds

Again I say now not enough
Of daily common wondrous stuff
Not things but loved ones to hold dear
Hour by hour and year by year

Then supper time, five gather round
The table where we pray
With hands all joined and giving thanks
That Jesus made a way

To be together once again
To gaze on each dear face
To hear each voice, so dear so dear
And know it’s all his grace

Joanna Lee, our dear fair girl
Went home at supper time
To be with God who took her hand
And at his table dine

She joins her hands to millions there
Who gather round God’s throne
She sees and knows and meets again
The others God called home

Now supper time four gather round
The table where we pray
With hands all joined, and giving thanks
That God has made a way

To be together once again
To gaze on each dear face
To hear each voice, so dear so dear
And know it’s all his grace

It won’t be long till supper time
We all again shall be
Gathered round a table where
Joanna’s face we’ll see

And our dear savior with us all
His nail scarred hand in ours
In a place where feasting never ends
On tables made from flowers

And I shall say then “It’s enough”
Since all that’s there shall be
Peace and beauty without end
Through all eternity

Knowledge is a defense and money is a defense, but the excellency of wisdom is that it gives life to them that have it.

Heart wrenching and beautifully written. I started my healing process by writing poetry about him, when I lost my son eight years ago. I am glad you have Jesus and His promise. Love, Joyce

Welcome to the blue pages!  Your post really touched my heart.

Isn't it nice to have the hope of being reunited with our loved ones in the presence of our Savior someday?

Very nicely done.
