GOD’S ANGELS CAME FOR ME
GOD’S ANGELS CAME FOR ME
A friend of my sister’s asked her to write a poem to be included in the bulletin for her husband’s recent Celebration of Life. She also wanted a poem for a Grandfather. I post these poems and dedicate them to all whose spouse and grandfather have recently returned to spirit.
God’s Angels Came for Me
God’s Angels came for me tonight…
My Soul they lifted up…
Up toward the light…
With untold joy, I entered in…
My Savior’s opened arms…
The peace…the love..the joy,
No place on earth can know…
With God this moment on…
No pain…no fear…no grief
Can ever enter in…
The long path of life we walked…
Now I stand watch…waiting in God’s garden
to behold your coming…together once again.

My Grandfather…
The boat is rocking in rhythm with the waves…
My line and hook float over the water…
A sudden pull…
The reel begins to spin…
All are alert as the fish breaks the surface…
Suddenly I am a young boy…
My Grandfather by my side…
Strong hands guiding me as I reel in my first catch!
Safety first when you remove the hook, he cautions…
Move your hand down against the scales…they are sharp you see.
Placing my prize on ice…I am hooked for life…
The sea and me.
Looking back…the days of patient teaching…
My Grandfather’s words ring still…
Study hard my Son…keep your record clean…
Show respect…stand tall, be a man…
Don’t forget to laugh…and above all…
Love your God.
My grandfather…my guide through life…
