Better Get Right Today This Is One of My Fondest Prayers

"  It's humid outside
It has just rained 
Sitting in my car 
In the cemetery
 Between my job
 I've just written 
a poem about my brother...
And his family 
Funny it's also 
My father's birthday 
Yet he too is deceased and gone 
WOW I am I'm full of Glee. (Why you see---)
Although most all my loved ones are dead and gone 
It's the Jesus around me and in me that keeps me going on I'll be strong!
I still have my three children and two grandchildren
 My wife is gone her parents too
 Even one of her sister also passed and my in-laws too
 I celebrate their life by saying this today 
Better get right before death comes my (our)way
We all need to kneel down and pray 
Oh I miss the physical ones but yet they're living on
 Eternally !
I pray that they're in the arms of Jesus
This I must believe and when my time come 
When I'm laid in a box
 I hope people remember me 
I hope they think of me a lot
Mercy Lord !
Hallelujah!!!
This is one of my fondest prayer "

"Lost all my loved ones are dead and gone " This made me sad until I saw all the children and grandchildren listed. Smile.
