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. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran
