MY HOPE

MY  HOPE

 

That when he

Came into this world---

He might be a blessing

With his life, to others.....

 

He would be a credit to his parents...

He would be well---remembered

In his home town.

His name would appear

with honor---in the halls

of his alma mater. 

 

His memory would be ever lovingly

engraved on the hearts

Of his family, loved ones, and friends.

 

Above all, his children, and all children

He ever met, taught,

threw a ball with---

Would talk about him, when

They were old, as ONE

who helped them on their way,

and caused them to want to

lead godly lives.

 

That every note he ever sang, every

one---in praise of Jesus and

His matchless sacrifice, is still

echoing as sounds do---

Somewhere deep in the universe. 

 

That the earth would have been

the poorer, had he never been born. 

 

That his name was inscribed

in The Book of God’s Kingdom,

“On the page white and fair...”

That April day in 1947, when he said

“I believe,” and opted for Jesus.

 

Maybe one day, the Creator will say:

“Well done, thou good and

faithful servant.”

 

So may it be recorded for Eternity.

 

Amen
