God Reserved

God Reserved It always is best to be involved Before you die and are dissolved; Writing poems in my life take the lead; After you read them will have agreed. Then was when I soon started to realize My surprise would be winning a prize And then to the fact became resigned; God had put His poems into my mind. Poet Laureate later will become one day And when I die a wreath they will lay In front of monument that they made, As into past my presence started to fade. High in heaven found a new habitat For all of us humans and now that After receiving earthly things I deserved, A place in heaven for me God reserved. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
