This poem was written for our pastor & his wife who recently retired. I had the pleasure of writing this poem for the Church Family forthem.

Much hope and love can this man give,
When God’s word he clearly speaks
Joy and Knowledge this man has,
Eternal life for his flock he seeks!


Your time at Union can’t be measured,
Our love for you, we freely tell
God’s mission here you have fulfilled,
His work you’ve done so well!


Tonight your family flock has come,
To acknowledge what you’ve had to give
In your own special unique way,
You taught us the way to live!



We have all come together
To share our feelings from the heart.
Your experience has inspired us all
You will be missed as you depart! 

 The years you and Marie have given us,
Are the best years of our life.
For letting us walk them together,
We thank you and your precious wife.

We ask that God Bless and keep you
In your coming Retirement days.
The love that you have shown to us,
Comes back to you in many ways!

Great poem. Our pastor retired many years ago. He and his southern wife Ruby Grace, are now interim pastors of our church. He has come out of retirement sometimes and next week is one of them cause our pastor is marrying someone in Calif. Our interim family are always there for people in trouble. Pastor had an ulcer and was very ill, but now he feels he is recovered enough to pastor his flock on Sunday. Thank God for that. He buried my Mother. He was special to us and still is. May yours finds some true work later too.

A wonderful poem about wonderful people, even though I don't know them your words bring to life their importance in the life of the church! A beautiful tribute!
Blessings from Ky.

Thank you Pearl, this is a very wonderful tribute, and reminds me of my pastor in America. I'm in Australia now, but what you have written here, is from the heart, and not all pastors are alike. Only those who are near to our Lord God, through His son Jesus, can be like what you wrote here. A pastor with this kind of dedication to his congregation, is definitely special, because they don't judge others, leaving that for our Lord Jesus on the final Judgement Day.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom yo ulove, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your den sister in Christ our Lord, Barbie
