A young guy, who's family is part of our church, passed away early this morning. He didn't "lose the battle" to cancer. Death didn't have the final word. Oh no. LIFE won - because he knew Jesus, he's won the race, 100% healed and has Eternal Life with our Lord!
Come Home
Naomi S. Sahlstrom
I surrender,
Said the man
Not to
cancer’s cruel hand;
To God’s
mysterious plan
Too soon,
too young, some will say
What about
his dreams?
Days are
numbered, time is out
Too early
though it seems
For just one moment –
Death thought
he had the victory
Nothing now
could save…
Until his
soul went UP
Not down
into the grave!
Death
defeated, no rejoicing
Out again to
roam
Not so in
heaven –
God’s child
just came home!
Party, laughter, banquet feasting!
It’s all
right, dear son’s mother
His mission
is complete
Well he
served and will continue
At his
Master’s feet
Let us be,
faithful servants
When death
happens to us all
Our last
duty here on earth:
To heed the
Master’s call
Come home.
This is a really good poem, Naomi!
