What a treat, from Jayne's Uncle Mike, a not yet famous (or maybe facebook famous?) poet!
TO MY NIECE, JAYNE, ON HER MISSION
When I saw the empty mailbox on your blog
About your mission in Cleveland, Ohio,
The thought struck like sun, driving out of a fog,
I should write; she hasn’t had mail in a while!
About your mission in Cleveland, Ohio,
The thought struck like sun, driving out of a fog,
I should write; she hasn’t had mail in a while!
Since you left home, like a bee from the swarm,
I’ve followed your blog with great interest,
Your writing is good, both welcome and warm;
You’d certainly make a good journalist!
I’ve followed your blog with great interest,
Your writing is good, both welcome and warm;
You’d certainly make a good journalist!
But now as you’re bringing the Truth to the Earth,
As it is spreading from mountain to reef,
Know that your efforts are of unquestioned worth
To those lingering or lost in disbelief.
As it is spreading from mountain to reef,
Know that your efforts are of unquestioned worth
To those lingering or lost in disbelief.
Before your time ends and you have to depart
I’ll send this poem of support and affection;
Continue your work, it’s God’s personal art,
While we pray for your success and protection.
