Jim’s words….
so…you may have noticed that a great friend of ours died suddenly last week…
another great friend sent me this poem he wrote this week…
Got a text on the way
To my “me time” day
That told me I had
Lost a friend today
Heart attack it said
Shock, it said
Died, it said
A very irregular guy
Always one to surprise
Us with his highs
And chuckles and naughty rises
He would take from the fools
In church with their obsolete rules
Naughty some would say
As he played
With the way we pray
And meet and hug
And take the drug
He had wizard eyes
In a parent frame
That saw things coming
Before they came.
So he hung around
With his awkward stand
And tried to blend
And understand
And care
For us who shared
His laughs and gaffs
And human faff
Then like a dream
He’s off to scheme
And share some jokes and pokes and laughs and such
With the Chief provoker of the church
I like the world a little less
Without this pest and his mess
And stress and outrageous
Way that only he could bless
