R.I.P.

Written 10-3-07

Slowly dying, I knew

Sadly crying, I didn’t get to see you

A man of God filled with a dream and shining with God’s light so clear

Now I wish I was sitting there so near

Though I know the time would come, I just didn’t know you would leave so soon

You struggled so long in this world

Even though I know, now you’re making your way home

You will now rest peacefully in a place where you won’t have to worry any longer or struggle anymore

I only wish I said goodbye and visited before you died

Memories are indeed valued…

Remembering you said that when you die you don’t want us to cry of sadness

But you want us to drop a tear of joy

Remembering you supporting my family

Remembering that night I got filled with the Holy Ghost, how you smiled so brightly to show how happy you were

That night you told me to keep going and walking with the Lord for there are times when it’s not so easy but if you keep holding on he will keep me and I will make it far

Remembering your voice, the tone, your preaching

I use to listen to all your teachings

Remembering just how you looked when I last seen you

Bishop you are remembered as one great Uncle
