Leave a tributeInto eternal day,
Why do we call it dying,
This sweet passing away.
That which we call death is merely the slumber and rest of this mortal clay and that only for a little season while the spirit, the life, has gone to enjoy again the presence and society of those whence it came, and to whom it is a joy again to return. And this will be the condition of the righteous until the morning of the resurrection, when the spirit will have power to call forth the lifeless frame to be united again, and they both become a living soul, an immortal being, filled with the light and power of God. What reason have we to mourn? Except that we are deprived for a few days of the society of one whom we love.
Ever since I was a little boy my dad was always my first and biggest hero. I was a little boy that idolized his dad. Now I’m a grown up little boy, and I still idolize my dad. My dad was always bigger than life. I miss him every day.

Favorite Peom
God gave my son in trust to me,
Christ died for him and he should be
A man for Christ, He is his own,
And God’s and man’s - not mine alone
He was not mine to give, he gave
Himself that he might help to save,
All that Christians should revere -
All that enlightened men hold dear.
“What if he does not come” you say,
Ah Well! My sky would be more gray,
But through the clouds the sun would shine
And vital memories be mine,
God’s test of manhood is I know,
Not “Will he come, but Did he go?”
