Tonight As I Veiwed Your Remains
A few days ago your battle with MS ended
And your last breath was drawn
You peacfully closed your eyes
And your final journey carried you Home.
You went to be with your Saviour
As he awaited you on His Throne
Your struggles of this earth were over
For He sent His Son to rescue you
And gently placed you in His arms.
Your body now so small and flare
And with no strenght left to live...
Accepted His out stretched arms
And away He took you
Departing as the Dove.......
'The Dove Thats' Controlled by God's Will'
He carried you to see your earthly father
Whom you lost suddenly as a very young man
God knew how you had loved and missed him
So He placed Mr. Luker right within your palmed hand.
Your three sons ( the second of which I barred)
Were all there with you
When the 'Death Angel'
Made It's way into the room.
Each with tears of pain rolling down their cheeks
Helplessly watching knowing nothing
Could be done to keep their daddy from leaving that room
Each trying to prepared themselves
For what lay just hours ahead.
They sat with each other
As each one fought hard to be a strong man
Each one knowing they were losing their daddy
And also losing their best friend.
Trying to remain strong for little sister
Knowing she and her mom were on their way
For they knew she was too young to understand
And they would have to chose the right words to say.
To tell her of ........
This 'Final Journey Home' and it's departure
Of Life and Death....
The 'Journey' her daddy (and she must be told)
Has aboarded and he has already left.
Jimmy rest in peace now and move about in 'Your Heavely Home'
You have lefted behind alot of 'Widsom and Knowledge'
As you were struggling daily to live....
But accept your Rewards now and rejoy in the Lord.....
You're in Heaven now..........Where there is no more pains..........
There is no more burdens.....There is no more worries....... It is finally all over.
Look below now and see all is o.k.
After all, don't you remember talking to and teaching your children
And telling strangers
About our Almightly God?
And about the Lord?
I will always remember you, Cecilia
Jimmy died April 16, 2008 after 22 years of living with MS. He fought a hard
battle till the end.
