Geddings Poems | Examples


Finally Home

As my uncle lay dying in his nursing home bed
He couldn't comprehend the words people said
For so many years his body declined
And Alzheimers disease had clouded his mind
Just a few days before he died
The Lord Himself came and sat by his side
He said to him gently in a voice soft and low
It's almost time for you to go
Come live in the presence of My Father and Me
There are so many things I want you to see
Your mansion is ready for you to move in
I started to build it when I cleansed all your sin
I know you have suffered and been in much pain
But here in My kingdom it's all sun and no rain
I can't wait to hold you close to My breast
In My strong arms I want you to rest
Then I will walk with you on streets made of gold
There you will meet the great saints of old
Then you will meet your family and friends
And you'll all live forever where joy never ends
So hold on my child no more will you roam
I'm coming to get you and welcome you home

Grandpa's Last Day

On a beautiful morning one day in May 
I went to my grandma and grandpa's to stay
My grandpa fixed breakfast and fed it to me
I felt so secure as I sat on his knee
I ate every bite of my eggs and my grits
For a snack later on we'd have cheese whiz and ritz
Yet on this bright morning when the dishes were done
We went out on the porch and sat down in the sun
Grandpa picked up his paper and on that old porch swing
He went in a flash to meet Jesus the King
Before I got grandma I climbed on his lap
Hugged him and kissed him then my heart felt a gap
Although I was little I felt such a dread
The moment I knew my grandpa was dead
Though I miss him dearly I know where he's gone
He's joyfully worshiping God at His throne
I can't wait to see him I know he is there
Praying for me to be kept in God's care
Soon we will be Amazing Grace
As we all live forever in that glorious place

As my uncle lay dying in his nursing home bed - He couldn't understand the words that were 
said - For so many years his body declined and Alzheimers Disease had clouded his mind - 
Just a few days before he died - The Lord Himself came and sat by his side - He said to him 
gently in a voice soft and low - It's almost time for you to go - Come live in the presence of 
My Father and Me - There are so many things I want you to see - Your mansion is ready for 
you to move in - I started to build it when I cleansed all your sin - I can't wait to hold you 
close to my breast - In My strong arms I want you to rest - Then I will walk with you on 
streets made of gold - there you will find the great saints of old - Then you will meet your 
family and friends - And live forever where joy never ends - So hold on My child - No more 
will you roam - I'm coming to get you and welcome you home.
