Twenty Four

Had I been given 24

24 hours, 24 minutes, 24 seconds.

To look into your eyes

With so much disguise

Only to tell you of your smiles

That took my day on a journey of many miles.

Had I been given 24

24 hours, 24 minutes, 24 seconds.

To bring you to a safe abode

Oh, you beautiful child of God

Talented and bold

Your hand I wish I could hold.

You swore to cherish every day.

How you managed to do so, I must say.

Living and praying to do right.

By His power and might, your inner light is bright.

Look below and you can see,

You’re an angel that goes beyond the seas.

For the earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. 

He founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.

Like water you swerved the scenes only to be known as SWERV

No wonder your absence hits every nerve.

But like in Psalm 24

CNU’s Captain # 24

Brian Hermann, you belong to God

Had I been given 24

24 hours, 24 minutes, 24 seconds

I’d cherish it all


In loving memory of Brian Herman CNU's #24
