As I drove down a road today, reflecting on some of the better times in my life, I remembered a wonderful man, who was my neighbor's dad and a minister at the church I taught Sunday school craft classes at. I wrote this little poem in memory of him. . .

Holy Man
by The Poetess (SRP)

I once knew a minister
(His name was Tom)
Who touched countless hearts
Before his time was gone.

He never preached the bible
Or stuffed it down our throat.
He just lived and shared the lessons
He learned from what it wrote.

coming from the wonderful roots of the Pentecostals
I know to this day I appreciate the spiritual love
they lovingly seeded to grow inside me
just as your Minister Tom has done...

These words speak volumes about the minister you knew. I'm sure he is now reaping the fruits of his labor.
