beautiful boy
you died too young but just in time
::apparently::
it was a mercy to wrest you free
from the powers that sieged your walls and
stormed your gates.
you’re safe now, son, from axis threat –
the missiles spreading fire to your soul.
now lay you down on golden hills
wrapped in Arms
that shield from harm,
but
can i still miss you?
oh!
come wind and fire,
come tempest, ire
you’ll not reach my boy where he now knows life
and
where he waits for me with gleaming skin
for that someday when he’ll come sprinting, laughing, wildly waving
on ::Father’s:: day
at last. it’s all good
but for now – while mourning precedes morning – i’ll still go on missing
what was and
what could be and
::dream::
of the man you are.
💔❤️
Thank you, dear Lesa. ❤️🙏
Missing Graham with you! Can’t wait til we are all together with him again.
Our Graham always had you in his corner, Kelli! What a time we’ll have in that Someday…
Exquisite poem and blog!! In Randy Alcorn’s book titled “Heaven”…he reminds us that the Bible points to the fact that all we go thru down here, all that the Lord allows, is in preparation for our (for lack of a better word…)…for our *job*…rather our assignment, role, positions in Heaven. His greatest soldiers are trained the hardest, and I daresay that, you and your lovely bride will Mighty Royal Soldiers of grand roles prepared and saved especially for you both, upon yalls arrival in Heaven. God bless you both mightily…psalm 5 vs 12💛⚓🍃👑☝
What beautiful words Scott. I am still grieving my nephew who was taken also by that horrible addiction. It’s been 1 year and not a day goes by that I don’t miss him. He was 23. I remember Graham so well from your camp days. What a sweet boy
That was so powerfully poignant, Scott. Blessings and hugs to you and Sandi …
You are beautifully kind, Gay. Thank you for offering your time!
My heart grieves with you and, yes, looking forward to celebrating the day.
I know you are beloved. May God shower you with His really good gifts in this season, faithful sister!
