A Word In Season

Hey! you guys, I see you there, Mom, Dad, in your chair. Family ,friends now don’t be sad If you saw me now, then you’d be glad My body’s not broken anymore Got a Harley outside my mansion door Well. maybe not, don’t hurt to dream Anything’s possible here it seems There’s no more sorrow, no more pain No more hospital bed’s where I have lain In such a state of helplessness With no one there to hear you fuss. The “son” shines bright on this sides shore No darkened days for me no more Just peace and love, you’d never guess That I’d be living in this Bliss There’s so much joy every day To see God’s real in every way To know that he’s forgiven me And from all my sins he set me free Not laden down with earthly cares Without the drag of worldly snares My life is now so bright and new It’s happiness in all I do I know you’ll miss me Mom and Dad I’ll cherish too the times we’ve had The way the Sunday’s used to be Together with the family You children, growing up so fast My love for you will always last Without reserves, without condition An endless love, that was my mission To give you sound advice to keep My word’s I’ve planted very deep Within your mind and in your heart You see we won’t be far apart My love lives on in your memories My spirit too with yours it see’s If you need to know just what to do You’ll hear my word’s, and know it too That all the time you were so mad, You’ll say that word was from my Dad. In my book of memories, is my sister and my brother I want you to know I’m very glad, that we had each other The good times and the bad times, it seems we’ve had our share But if we needed one another, you’d know that we’d be there. If it were fishing or a hunting or just building a four wheeler The fun we had together would always be a sealer, Of the love we shared together a bond unlike any other I was always very happy to have you for my brother. Mom & Dad, I’ll wait for you upon this golden shore Children, sister, brother too , my friends and so much more I want to say to you, but find that I must close But a greater family to me I could have never chose When you think you’ve lost everything and there is none to gain Just look again and you will see his blessings fall like rain. You see I now am peaceful, he took me up to rest In being here, I know now, I have the very best.
