TO POPPA
Photograph ©Copyright by Alan L. WintersThrough the valleys we have tread
And through a steady rain.
And wondered during darkest times,
Would someone ease the pain?
And when we think we can’t go on
We reach the valley’s edge
And far above we see
The mountain’s highest ledge.
But now instead of stopping here
We find the strength we need
To rise above the obstacles
To push ahead, to lead.
And as you tread on highest peaks
Follow in the Lord’s design.
Walk softly now but walk away.
You’ve left your love behind.

May you live an eternity in peace
