In Loving Memory Of Kerwin Rae

(Motivational Speaker, died Oct 18, 2024 at the age of 49, father of two ) 


In fields of gold I dare to go, where never growing old I row and row,   
never farther than my eye could see, ...for He is looking right at me;
Flying on the wings of hope, thankful every day for that special ray 
that sends me to the sun, like a soaring Cormorant flying free.. 
Mixing clay and water I will build my wings  and temper gently 
with  the coming of the light,   just like Jonah did,  
from the belly of the night....
The last few words I said to you, may they fall afresh like dew 
on the lawn of your heart, may you run for peace and not forget 
that when the waters rise and you can't swim, 
do like Noah did and build an arc !  
In fields of gold I dare to go, where never growing old I row and row,   
never farther than my eye could see, ...for He is looking right at me;
I am a ripple in the quantum field of life, a pulse in the heart of you 
 listen and learn what it is that lights you up and fills you with joy.
Before you dare to go to those fields of gold where you never 
grow old,  just row and row and row and row, and never let go.

I have searched for the life of this person. Such a pity he died young.

Dear rose, this is so touching and heartfelt and youv written in such a creative and poetic manner, a tribute that would be remembered always! I love so many lines in this and you have a heart of gold and you sprinkle light upon so many wherever you go or whoever you meet, is blessed to know you! Youv expressed so well here. And its so sad to learn this motivational speaker that must have touched many hearts left so early and young but they say good ones leave early. May their soul rest in love, sending you light today and always

"I am a ripple in the quantum field of life, a pulse in the heart of you" -- Love that! Maybe a Tsunami! Like you say, never to doubt our own significance nor the presence of God with us, eternal, ever processing forward~ Glory to glory greater. Very young. Your precious friend will be missed by many I am certain. Praying for God to comfort you and the rest of your family. Love, Ila and Joe.

Hello Rose , this is such a beautiful tribute my friend. I love this line: In fields of gold I dare to go, where never growing old, I row and row. For me it lifted the sorrow of the loss. Have a great day and a wonderful weekend, my friend.
