R.I.P. Uncle Gregory

To Uncle Greg

God knew that you were tired
so he sent you peace
he asked you to come home
so he could put your mind at ease.

God knew that you were tired
so he whispered "Do not fear,
I have a cure for your unrest,
life gets better from here."

God knew that you were tired
so respite he assured
and when your calling came
you went home with the Lord.

God knew that you were tired
so he left friends and family to lurk
with tears of sorrow and tears of joy
to continue your work on earth.

God knew that they were tired
so before you went to bed
he left them all a message
to lift their weary heads...

"As the great book says,
do not loose heart
put a smile on your face
and be happy to have known Greg
before he had to depart"

And with these words
they praised him and rejoiced,
"Greg is the man and forever is our boy!"
