IN MEMORIA
This poem was written in mem-
ory of Cpl. Alvin Ray Fritz, who
died in Viet Nam February 14,
1969. Though Alvin didn't want to
leave his home to go fight, he had
a job to do, and he did it.
Sometimes I just watch how
God works in
A strange way
And just recently he took a boy
on Valentine Day.
But now he’s with God in Heav-
en above.
And down below suffer the ones
he loved.
But God was working and when
work was done
He looked down on Alvin and
said, “I want that one.”
Now if you will think, you will
envy that boy
Because his heart is content
and filled with joy.
As he walks up to the Pearly
Gates Saint Peter will wel-
come him in
And there he will meet many
religious men;
Ail of them there in Heaven
above,
They also had to leave the ones
that they loved.
But we think this is different
and
Shouldn’t have been done.
But God's the one to say, yes,
He’s the One.
Yes, God had a job so he call-
ed Alvin to His Land.
And He slowly walked over and
took him by the hand.
And he said, “Wipe those tears
from your eyes, you will no
no longer be tired,
I have a job for you and you
can’t be fired.”
He said, “Son, I’ve brought you
to live with me for eternity’.’
Alvin sorta glowed and said,
“How lucky can one man be,”
