Dear Samuel And Catherine (Caitlyn) : Poem by Pleasant Dabbs

The time has passed, so now at last
Some words of consolation
Friends take it hard, neighbors are jarred,
But you're the blood relation
The brothers are harder skinned I think
The sisters- their soft hearts do sink
But Mom & Dad, they have it bad.
She was their own creation.

I know it's hard ‘cause you're still scarred,
But reflect on God's intention
Your hearts can rest! She was His best!
And here's one more dimension…
Most of us need a life-time to tame…
Our mind and soul, and thus reclaim
The Father's love, ‘n those things above…
And blessings not yet mentioned.

She'd had her test, she was the best
Of all things He created.
Her- He called home, one of His own.
No doubt she was elated.
And now she has a much greater work
You three'll join together, just call it ‘teamwork'
You'll teach on this side, she'll watch on that side,
And you'll all end up well-compensated

When you have a bad day, or you're in a bad way,
Remember that she's by your side
She'll be there to assist you, she's already kissed you,
If you need something, she will provide
Some don't believe that those over there
Can help or build faith, that they even care
But she will surprise you when she hovers nearby you,
Yes, her family she's always beside

So be all united, and oh so excited,
For the reunion that is yet to take place
It's not too far away- look ahead to the day
When the family will hug and embrace
Just keep yourselves busy with your everyday work
The time will go by while you build the framework
For your mansion above, a society of love,
A reward you can never replace!
