What We Missed the Most
What We Missed the Most
His misery had become a mystery to me
Maybe in his family had been a history
So what has happened in his old senility
Could it ever possibly become a liability.
In youth where he went was always diligent
In poems, understood clearly what he meant;
By God, he was incredibly, certainly sent;
From His sins everyday, He did repent.
God did help recover from his downfall
He rose up and vividly stands so tall
Love for all caused him to hear God's call
Even though on occasion has a lot of gall.
When he died what we missed the most
Was of good cheer when he gave a toast,
And with us, when we went out to dine
He said God is great and mine all mine.
To many was a great poet as well as guy
Until drastic, destined day that he did die
And was looking at God straight in the eye
All my poems recently read whole supply.
My fine friend Terry, I surely must admit
Think promising poem above has to be it.
