In tribute to a beautiful human being who passed away. He left his loved ones on Saturday.

The accident was tragic. One man died while waiting for the rescue boat to come. The waters were freezing. The boy is fine and healthy. He was cold but was okay. His grandfather was hospitilized for the day. He had many cuts on his feet and exposure to the cold. Check out the story at my Journal at my web page.

She sat on the shore; patiently, waiting to take his hand.
She would lead him to paradise,
God's beautiful promise land.
He would die a hero,
in the frigid water.
Keeping a boy company now;
not showing his dying fear.
The boy awaited a rescue
sitting on the ice.
The man's skin cold;
sharply cut like a butcher's knife.
Seeing the rescue boat coming,
he lay back letting go.
The angel floated over his body, sweetly laying low.
His spirit left his body,
before he said goodbye.
He did his worldly duty.
Now he had to die.


Peace be with his loved ones.
Angels hug their hearts.
Let him alway be honored.
He certainly did his part.
