~~~~~~~~ To A Friend The Lord blest with 82 years of life Israel Pagan, 1921 - 2003 ~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had not, seen him for a spell Heard he was hospitalized Not feeling well Then the tolls of the bells. ~~~~ His name was Israel, Israel was his name At five feet four A Great Father, a Grandfather A mountain of a Man, all the same. ~~~~ I stand before him Reciting a silent prayer For his soul, The Lord To keep As He lies in state In His final sleep ~~~~ Completed Was His mission in life To spread His seed Just look around you, At His genes The beautiful work, He did indeed. ~~~~ All 0f them, before Him Are here Paying, their final respects As they pray While singing heavenly hymns. ~~~~ His Name Was Israel Israel Was His Name At five feet four A Great Father, GrandFather A Mountain of a Man, all the same. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ By: William Bonilla 6/26/03 He followed, Jesus Foot steps Was a Carpenter.*
