Safe At Home

When I closed my eyes and fell asleep in the premature hours of dawn I never dreamed Your face would be The next I’d look upon My vehicle came to rest against the square concrete pylon And those who found me declared to all “It appears as though he’s gone” They said I had the look of peace upon my face so fair And in my lap my hands were laid As if God placed them there Just underneath those hands of mine my Gummy Bears were found How is it that they rested there And were not tossed around You chose for me the greatest dad and mother one could have And my sister; she’s so beautiful Will you hold her for me Dad For all of those that knew me knew how much I loved the game But they also knew I loved you Lord And someday you’d call my name I’m grateful that I prayed the prayer to receive you in my heart Now I know for sure that heaven is real And we two shall never part My final game was played that day as I heard you say “well done” I ran into my dwelling place Where I’m truly “safe at home” Dedicated to RJ Ledesma jr who was called from this earth much to soon. May you rest in the Lord's care till we see you again. October 29, 1992 - September 24, 2011
