Dear Robert
July 11th. 1942-August 4th. 2005
Today you received your wings
You have been set free
Free from pain and suffering
That cancer brought into your life
Free from the burden of sorrow
That followed you on this journey
When your physical body
Was no longer the friend
You needed to carry on.
Today you have found new life
In Christ
For He was your fortress
And your strength
During your battle with cancer
You never failed to believe
That throughout the journey
God was with you always
Helping you face each day.
Dear Robert, I thank you
for your faith to make me strong
For your assurance
That when your time came
You would indeed have wings
That would carry you beyond
The trials of this earth
Into God's home
Of everlasting peace.
