An old soul living in a-
twenty two year old body.
Loved much but missed more!
I didn't know Jalen the way y'all did,
born a prince before he was a kid!
Jalen, he didn't even know me,
inspite of that he gave me a hug,
I knew he was sent from the God above!
He was a young witness for Jesus,
had a tattoo of God engraved on his arm,
Christ was his Savior love was his charm.
Jalen loved helping the needy and poor,
the Holy Spirit in him open heavens door!
He had a great job worked hard at it to,
a real brother black through and through.
In his presence there was so much joy,
it boiled over from when he was a boy!
He loved his great grandma Mary,
and his auntie Rosa to,
shared love with his family,
there was nothing he wouldn't do!
God your father has called you home,
sharing unspeakable joy,
around his throne!
Open up your ears hear the angelic sound
Jesus gives Jalen his well deserved crown
You say you didn't know Jalen; yet your words hint that you would have loved to know him. Reading this sweet poem makes me wish I too had known him. I'm so sorry for his loss, but thrilled for Jalen in the joy of being with his Lord!
