THOUGHTS FOR LIVING
My precious Jerry Glenn,
A governor you would have been.
I see you standing handsome and tall,
A man of wisdom, understanding and compassion
for all,
A leader to fight the giants in the land,
Pornography, drugs and abortion on demand.
You were appointed and chosen while still in the
womb,
But you lie sleeping in the tomb.
What happened that you were bom before your time,
Before you could live outside this body of mine?
They told me of your fight to live.
You already knew you had much go give.
To the world as a Godty man,
For that was the Father’s plan.
Sleep on little one.
I’ll lie beside you when my race is run.
Together we will arise.
And meet Jesus in the Eastern skies.
