You are the summer
dawn
after the turbulent
night.
You are the ones who
keeps believing
when my heart is
full of fright.
You are the anchor
that
keeps my ship so
sure.
You are the ones who
makes me
believe I can
endure.
You sing the song,
in harmony,
across the miles
And don't forget to
send
a note that brings a
smile.
When I would just
give up
but venture notes to
you,
You always have a
word;
quite wise and
timely, too.
You are lambs, but
still
Shepherds for us
all.
We'd be so lost and
without
nourishment were you
to fall.
We learned to love
across
the miles a special
way.
We sang an opera,
playing
parts, day after
day.
You may not know
(God help that be)
the spot you hold
within our hearts.
But you make Heaven
wonderful
before it even
starts.
I think we can
stroll
together in
eternity.
Even out upon the
waters
of the Crystal Sea.
You may not know
but,
shining here upon
our Earth ~
Two children who
were
all God's since
birth ...
Is shining still,
always will.
Man may not see...
But God sees all and
puts
the credit where it
should be.
We'd never hold you
when
you know His gentle
voice.
We'd keep you always
in this
place, were it our
choice.
A life ~ a venture,
far
beyond our wildest
dreams,
And you were there
all hours;
tying up the seams.
Oh, bless you well.
I know,
whatever He tells
you to do,
You'll do it well
and please
remember ... we pray
for you!
You'll be surprised
when you
stand there with
empty hands,
To find your
treasures
preceeded you ... to
Gloryland!

For
in that she hath
poured this ointment
on my body,
she did it for my
burial. Matthew
26:12
For a testament is
of force after men
are dead:
otherwise it is of
no strength at all
while the testator
liveth.
Hebrews 9:17
*** Joan,
We are truly humbled
by your wondrous
gift to us...your
poem.
You have been such a
blessing to us, and
you have enriched
our lives
immeasurably.
