On the Shore a Forgotten Man

ON THE SHORE A FORGOTTEN MAN

On the shore a forgotten man.
He left footprints on the water.
From him, they say, all life began.
Longs to call thee, son and daughter.

The true love knot of Calvary.
On the shore a forgotten man.
His nectar shadow danced for thee
— this crimson clover genius plan!

As this earth is waning, you can
hear the trumpets, of harvest home.
On the shore a forgotten man —
His arms open wide, pleading, “Come!”

Since yesterday, “Adams” do wade
in misty gardens sinful span,
but for tempest of grace notes played.
On the shore a forgotten man.
