No Better Place

This reminds me of my dad who died on board the Carrier Intrepid and Battleship Arizona sunk in Hawaiian harbor. No Better Place Deep down in water was a ship wreck; Silence flowed from forward to back deck; Loneliness was over ship's entire length, With no energy left or any strength. God's fish swam gently here and there, Death and suffering was found everywhere; While all their bodies and souls would wait For God to pick them up at a certain date. Date came and God took each one again Back to heaven having let them all in; For families and relatives saved a place, Full of God's love and His much grace. Heaven many say has always been known, As a perfect, pleasant place of its own, For each soul who did die under the sea And no better place could there ever be. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
