Band-aids and gray hair,
Worn medals of triumph over life’s worries,
“The just shall live by faith,”
He faithfully proclaimed.
In carpenter’s jeans and plaid shirt ,
Plainly sharing words of faith and hope,
“We shall also live with Him”,
He faithfully proclaimed.
He paused patiently giving time to some,
Who shared from their life’s stories.
“All things work together for good to those who love God…”
He faithfully proclaimed.
Encouraging with love he read,
“…that you present your bodies a living sacrifice…
Acceptable to God…”.
Then gently closed his well- worn Bible.
The faithful bowed in final prayers,
Then rose comforted and encouraged.
May God bless us everyone,
And especially our faithful pastor.
