An Ode to Joe

written for a precious Uncle who has blessed all of our lives in a huge way

A sea of clouds are floating in the sky
They create unique shapes as we fly on by

Their patterns are like checkers on a board
High in the sky, like an eagle we soar

Off to our destination
Loved ones we shall meet
And spend precious moments

Cherish each day
For our time is fleeting
Love and light will indeed bless our meeting

As I write these words
My heart fills with love

I dedicate this poem to you, our sweet Uncle Joe
The joy you bring to us all, I hope you'll always know

Your generosity, your service, your wit, your stories,
your southern gentleman charm
Are all equal parts that make up a recipe of an
extraordinary man

Mr. Joseph Ernest Hudgins, our beloved one
Who God will forever hold is his hand
