I Thought I Heard a Trumpet

I Thought I heard a Trumpet I thought I heard an echo like a trumpet far away.. It was carried on the breezes; That swept in across the bay. I listened at my window as I watched the eastern sky.. light up with wondrous lightening; and the clouds began to cry. I thought I heard a Trumpet; and a loud victorious shout....raising high above the thunder... With Angels all about,. I wakened from my slumber..in the darkness on my bed... To a glorious rowdy ruckus Loud enough to wake the Dead. I thought I heard a Trumpet, It was a sweet surprise As I rose to meet my Savior. And to look into His eyes.

Ah, what a beautiful ending to a well-lived life. This is so poetically sweet I wonder if you wrote it for a friend who recently passed? It would give many comfort.
