Hanging At Half Mast

Then there are those who have trod
Over God's great earth they love and laud
Climbed many mountains, over oceans sailed
And helped us when we would have failed.

In sun and still of morning God will meet
Us and Christ who made everything complete
Dying on cross while below was chatter
Are you sure all our sins He can shatter?

Will have true faith in Trinity forevermore
Those three agree with who we adore
Even though still sinful and often wrong
Soon will be in heaven where we belong.

No matter what we have been through
One day will be taken up with You
As we looked back and saw our past
Flags had been all hanging at half mast.

Send me a comment so I will know
Who on my poems have started to grow
Many more poems will write and compile
For everyone even on Man's lovely Isle.
