The Greatest Pursuit

There was a Christian man that I once knew I learned from him about what's best to pursue He had served people well and made many a sacrifice As he moved closer to the end of his earthly life These are the words he said to me in his terminal state After doing his best and sharing with many his Christian faith "Before I am laid in my grave to rest I make this my one request Think not this to be my final nest For this I absolutely do protest More than 50 years ago I was compelled to confess That Jesus was the Christ and son of God no less I have since pursued this my heavenly quest So let it be clear that I sincerely detest Any concept that this grave is My new address May it be known that in eternal treasures I did invest That I have achieved the true meaning of success And shared The Christ from North to south, from east to west 091919cjPoSoup
