I REMEMBER A LITTLE BOY

I remember a little boy

So tender and sweet,

Being around him

Was always a treat.

 

He had a tender heart

And a brilliant mind.

He was truly

One of a kind.

 

He loved to be loved

And nestled with me

And I could envision the man

He’d someday be.

 

He was quite the debater,

Had a mind that raced,

He could always out fox

With words swiftly in place.

 

And we loved this boy

Though we lived far away.

Over the years

In our heart he stayed.

 

And though so much younger

Than either Dave or I

He took off toward heaven

And away did fly.

 

His body depleted

With a deadly stroke;

And the heart attack

Was the final stake.

 

Now he is released

From earth’s confines!

Rejoicing in heaven,

No barriers to climb!

 

And though we

Shall wipe away tears

In our hearts we rejoice

With our loved one so dear!

 

He will be missed.

Our hearts will feel grief.

But again we sing joy

That he has such relief.

 

We love you Wade

And will miss your quick wit!

Yet we will see you again

In just a bit!

 

Dave’s nephew was received into his heavenly home yesterday, August 23, 2017.    Though I know I’ll see him again I grieve for the loss of his presence on earth.  I grieve for his mother and for those who are left behind to mourn.  But for Wade, I rejoice in his release from pain and the confines of his body.  With heartfelt sympathy I send my condolences to his mother, aunt, uncle, cousins and friends. 

 

My prayer tonight:

Heavenly Father I ask that You send Your Comforter to Wade mother’s and extended family.  Please bring peace and healing to their broken hearts.  It is always so difficult to let go, yet it comforts our hearts knowing Wade loved You and was filled with faith.  He knew where he was headed.  Thank You God for the years Wade walked upon this earth and gave joy to others.  We know that we will see Wade in just awhile.

In just a little while

With loved ones embrace

But the best part will be

When we see Jesus’ face!

 

In just a little while

We’ll be dancing with Wade

And all the pain and sorrow

Of history will fade.

 

In just a little while

With loved ones rejoice

And it will be amazing

When we hear God’s voice!

 

In just a little while

We’ll all be home

Never again

This earth to roam.

 

Thank You God for Your plan that made a way for us to be with you.  

GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS YOU!

Be sure and say “I LOVE YOU” to someone today.
