Dads poem written so perfectly.

Black Birds
Saw Three Black Birds eat'n today, Three flew in and one flew Away.Wear'n Sunday's best, silky feathers so fine,They hopped, then stopped, look'n for a place to dine.Their feast began surrounded by a morning dew,Each found plenty of eat'n to do.Then, without a chirp, they all were gone,All flew off from my backyard lawn.My silky black Birds may have flown away, But how God provides, is the lesson this day,Don't waste time worring "bout stuff no more, For God you see, will help us soar.He's set a table where we can eat too,Where all worry is gone, where He'll guide us to what's true.The Black Birds have showed us, there's but one thing to do,Just show up to His table, but I'm sure you knew.God has always just said, come feast with Me,I will feed you and clothe you, like Black Birds you see.It's up to us then to partake and dine,Just come as we are, never wait for a sign.(Sam McCrow March 31, 1994)

What is it like for you?

I imagine life in heaven being so different from anything we can even comprehend. I bet that since you love early morning sunrises that you are blessed with the most beautiful colors that we can not even imagine....you see the colors while the birds chirp. You walk along an ocean and hear the water swish against the sand and feet and again you are blessed with the feeling of stillness...you can feel God's love as the water washes over your feet. You close your eyes you feel not the sun upon your face but you feel God's love consumming every part of you....and you do not want to open your eyes just yet because you want to bask in His glory just the way he intended you to. As you walk along paths of gold you are alomost brought to tears as you see the most beautiful flowers alighning each and every mansion that he has built. You stop and watch a butterfly flutter by and realize that it to was created so perfectly and that now you wish you would have stopped to enjoy the butterflies here on earth when you had the chance. You realize that now in heaven you are given the gift to worship God just by seeing all of his wonderful creations and being able to stop and enjoy them. I know that you are not sad about not being on earth....as bad as that may sound to us.....but you can't wait for us to join you there in heaven someday so you can see that everything was okay. So Dad since I do not have heaven just yet like you do I will hold back the tears and think about so many wonderful things that I miss about you.....and just about that time I will see a flower or a butterfly or something...and I promise I will stop and I will enjoy it. I will try to concentrate on all the glorious things that you are blessed with now. I love you Dad and miss hearing from you. I will try to live my life so that God and you will smile at me.
Love ya Pop's
