One son was born to a family , who needed him.
First he was raised by two , then one, then none.
Now he was one man.
One man who traveled all over God's land.
He saw the creature's that lived there, he smelled the flower's that bloomed.
Felt the breeze that blew upon him in God's land.
That one man became a lonely man, so he took a wife.
Wife said,"I will stand behind you in whatever you do."
The man said," You will not stand behind me, but beside me."
That one man became a father, a father of three boys and a daughter.
All of whom he loved with his wife. The father taught his children love,
pride and honor, faith, and to acceptance to walk the path that was set
Before them in God's land.
The father became a grandfather of many.
He loved his grandchildren as much as his children.
The grandfather became a traveler with his wife,
They went to many places together.
The man became a tried old man, and he said to his wife,
" I need to rest , take me home."
The wife said, " I shall take you home and there I will stay beside you always."
God said one day to the old man, " I have watched you grow, I have seen you walk in my land
And leave it as you have found it, I smiled the day you took a good wife,
And I have blessed you with healthy children, and many grandchildren, but now I see that you are tried, and I shall take you home, so that it may become your home, and you may rest till you see your family again."
That one man went with God, and became a man in Heaven.
I wrote this poem in honor of my father Jan, 4, 1992. I have missed him for 20 years. I think of him always. He was my best friend. my father Jerome (Smokey Cloud, Jerry) Had a first marriage and had three children then. 2 of which are now in the Blue sky with him. David , Bonnie. His youngest son Jerry is well , and we are back in touch. My mom had 3 girls and 2 boys from his first marriage , whom he also loved .I mean not to take anything anyway from them as my family in this poem. They are and always be my brother and sisters. No matter who the mother or father was. I Love you all.
I love you daddy, and I miss you everyday.
So till my next talking, peace and happiness .
