A Spirit Visited
Sad, dark paths sorrow leads
Where sorrow was not known
As death’s angel veiled takes away
A son, your very own
Years twenty given both of you
As parents this youth tender
Memories left now fill vaulted void
Cherish them. Remember.
Though sands of life were few
His prints are left behind
Upon your night and morning
Still seasons in your mind
Let grief not overwhelm you
God’s comfort brings to earth
Gentle benediction
Balm in burden’s girth
Heaven’s gate opens paradise
To a lad God forgave
Transformed a bud flowering
Fragrance sweet he gave
Voice scented says "Weep not Mother
Father, grieve no more
Such gardens never seen by me
Grace this eternal shore
My spirit waits when you will be
As me new immortality
Where time stands still around me
When God calls you as He did me
A bouquet perfumed on display"
