Poem
Two Deaths Did Occur In my life, two deaths did occur Which were both hard to endure; My father was the first to die; For him a long time I did cry. (Until about 30 than never again.) Eternal Father song at church would play; Remembered my own who passed away And memory of him came back to me A sailor who had been lost at sea. I was fifteen and made it on my own Eventually until finally, fully grown; There were six and I was oldest of all Whose lot in life was likely to fall. Enlisted in my country and soon did serve Which into my life threw quite a curve Until one day my wife happened to meet With bright blue eyes and smile so sweet. It was instant love at her first sight Our lips met together each lovely night; Much joy to my heart she always brought; Into her web of love I had been caught. Had two sons and surely loved them so And up each day we watched them grow; As time went on, we each started to see Our love for them was always equally. One night our youngest had left town; Why in the world would he have to drown Found face down in a soft running stream About him now we still so often dream. When your son from your life does leave God helps us when we have to grieve And as all of time advances even yet We still will morn and about him fret. He's God's star in heaven way up far Memories of him made us who we are Eventually too one day will also die God is only one who always knows why. James Serious Mysterious Horn Retired Veteran I was 15 and my Dad was 40 when he died. My son was 33 and I was 64 when he died.
