Once upon a time
There was a finely dressed man
He lived here and there
to fulfil his mandate
Blessing others
By teaching the Word.
*
Then one day
He spoke against the Virus
Thought it was overblown
til it blew him away
To heaven he went
Leaving surprise in his wake.
*
What are we to do?
Now that he is gone
Trust in the LORD
though the man was not restored;
Instead misperception led him
Now with his Maker.
*
We live one life
Making most of our moments
The finely dressed man
gave love and wisdom away
Where was supply
When he needed it most?
*
GOD knows, loves
And He forgives
God bears witness
of our love for Him
When all are gone
He remains, embracing.
*
Once upon a time
Was this finely dressed man
Who loved and was loved
til the end of his time
Now he stands dressed in majesty
Before his LORD.
*
Clothes don’t make the man
But GOD dresses him
In love, truth, beauty and joy
To wear his heart
Carry his dream
Always heavenward.
*
Once upon a time
Was the finely dressed man
Too shortly spent
he came, he went
When heaven sent
Then all lament.
*
It is done, it is done
Life is finished
All too soon….
Yet the finely dressed man
Amongst the Cloud of Witnesses
Rejoices.
*
Robed in the company
Of angels.
