| Remembering Abe - Memorial Day 2006 |  |
| My baby, my child, my son,
You first made me a mother, forever so.
To God I gave you back - you were never mine to keep,
Though so close to my heart.
You grew up and away with time, and it was right;
Further from me, closer to Jesus;
Independent before Him.
You let us in on your choices, but you made them
Alone before God - confident before Him.
It was you and God that chose your path,
You and God that accepted and bore
The consequences of those choices - without regret.
A man you were before Him and before us.
He made you so beautiful!
And then your time became complete.
Your days were finished here - continued there.
By the choice of one to do evil - you were sent
Abruptly away from this earth, to return only in glory one day
Beside your King.
And even now you see His face before you,
And you join with angels in worship
Because of our Savior's promise to
All those who put their faith and trust
In Jesus Christ alone for their eternity.
Our hope is true - your hope is now realized.
And here we camp - at the edge of eternity, as we long to see what you see,
And we will… | By Maria Simpson
