One More Saint

In honor of Vincent DeGeorge

        

 

One More Saint

 

A kind word for all he met

Simple wisdom through all his years

More humble than all these years have seen

Cared for one and cared he for all

No trouble for him would he allow one to fuss.

 

Winning hearts with simple smiles

Never once would betray family nor friend

Simple faith carried forward in every deed

Kindness and warmth spread with every step

A kind Laugh, nod or advice always at the ready.

 

Greatness most measure in actions or wealth

Yet great he was in simple warmth and faith

We rest this soul no more to mourn

Yet celebrate this life so great in years,

Now lift we up this life for all to see.

 

Ready he was yet seems untimely now

As Heaven must have needed him

To plant a tree, mend a faucet, grow a new garden,

Or perhaps to watch over new souls,

As they might catch cold without their hats.

 

Whatever his place in that great beyond

We know he will now welcome all who arrive

His life passed, this life we celebrate,

And keep his memory deep within our hearts

For not one memory will fail to bring us cheer.

Touching deep, gentle and leaving tender feeling on every soul. The true nature of realized soul.
Well expressed. A good one. Keep this up.
