My dear cousin, Joseph Bonnett was a long distance truck driver who drove for a company named "CARGO" which was based in Vermont where he lived. Joe was at a truck stop in Kansas when he called 911. After he arrived at the hospital, he went into cardiac arrest and died. This is another poem I have written in loving memory of him ...

I'm driving through heaven today.
There are so many wondrous sights
to behold.
The highways go on forever and
are paved with shiny gold.

I drove past the milkey way
and nebulas is down the road.
My truck is running great
as it carries heavenly loads.

The hills and valleys are beautiful.
Every kind of flower can be seen.
Shimmering streams flow peacefully
through fields of endless green.

Angels fly gracefully about with
gossamer wings unfurled.
Their soft melodies echo through God's
kingdom touching this peaceful world

A tranquil place awaits for those
who are heaven bound.
Someday you'll ride with me in
this celestial place I've found.

Until then remember, my spirit is
with you night and day.
Someday you'll join me in paradise,
forever more to stay.


   I miss you so much Joe!
