Remembering All Our Yesterdays

I have taken my last hunting trip on earth Discovering what family is really worth My life is moving on with a new kind of birth For I have seen my last sunrise Disappear Into the dawn of night Part of me will always be with you from beyond Lifes precious moments are never gone Staying with us when we move on Know that I love you all very much So let us stay in touch When you bow your head to pray knowing I will Hear what your heart wants to say Believe that I have found my way Up in the sky where the angels play Where our family Awaits my arrival today Remember it's all by God's design I can see my whole life flashing like a neon sign Believing there is nothing I'd refine Knowing he brought me so many lifelines I will always treasure as I am reassigned To walk in Gods divine presence That in the end, I can only reference As this amazing family of mine Who brought so much joy and sunshine Especially when it was hunting time Oh how it was one of a kind The finest bunch living in my mind Together with family shooting a line Thinking about all the hunting times That make up this life of mine As we unwind sharing stories in rewind Of all the trades and lifelong relationships, I made along the way Remembering all of our yesterdays With family like it was opening day God knows I had to do it in my own unique way Wish I could hit a magic button so we could replay All the magical memories I see in this Godly display Though I have spent my last day with all of you I promise that being with God in heaven Makes our life worth living We all know it's not possible for me to stay I will miss you all in my own special way My next hunting trip has gotten underway Where I'm going I can hunt every day To my wife and kids, I need to convey My legacy is with each of you to portray All the love we shared each day Know that God has come to take my soul away Into the sky where all the angels play Where I will be waiting for all of you someday Just like our loved ones that have passed away Wait for my arrival now that I have shared my last day Think of me on a bright sunshiny day Or on a family hunting trip underway For now, I must obey Gods pathway That leads to the hunting camp in the sky Where my spirit can rein on high Remembering all of you as the days pass by Please don't continue to cry Know I lived life's highest high's This is not goodbye But rather I am with God by my side Hunting way up in the sky Where the angels play Living through all your eye's

Thank so very much for your kind words on this tribute to my uncle who passed away yesterday. He will be missed by many he was a good man.
