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.

‘He spoke against the virus thought it was overblown’ Did he question the reality of CV19, Sarah?
Hi Jane, He and I both accepted the reality of the virus but didn’t recognise the extent of the reach it had. Rather, it seemed to him too many were being given the cause of death as Covid too readily.
Beautiful ❤️
Hello Jane,
Alan and I never doubted the existence of the virus. We both were of the view that its prevalence in the death toll was overstated. Of course we’ve both learned the severity is far more of a concern than we realised. Sadly, we learned the hard way.
Praise GOD!
Such a wonderful poem about a wonderful man!
Truly inspired.
Praise GOD!:)
