Notes About The Poem

Walking the Streets of Gold

Father’s Day is near, and it brings tears to my eyes.
My Dad is in Heaven now, and hears my cries.
He was a humble pastor with a heart of gold,
Always putting others first, if truth be told.

My Dad and Mom both set godly examples for us children.
Parents like that are one in a million.
My Dad loved to laugh, and have a new adventure.
His visits to me in New Hampshire I will always treasure.

We went boating, swimming, and sightseeing for thrills.
He loved the White Mountains, with a view to kill!
We spoiled him with lobster, steak, and fancy cuisine.
He loved floating in our pond, and being treated like a king!

My Dad devoted his life to winning souls for Christ,
Spreading God’s Word about the Saviour’s ultimate sacrifice.
I have to remember on Father’s Day to look up to the glorious sky.
Our faithful preacher is now walking the streets of gold with the Man on High!
