I had to share this poem with our followers. The poem was written by Arlene (mom). My wife and I have adopted Arlene as our mom. She lives in Tennessee and she sends us a card every month to encourage us. She never fails to send holiday greeting cards nor birthday cards. She prays for us every day and we know mom will see her creator soon. I can personally feel it in mom’s poem. We have missed our parents because they are in heaven. However, God has given us an opportunity to share our love with Arlene (mom). She is a remarkable and caring woman. We hope you will enjoy this poem and pray that God will continue to bless mom. We love our mom very much. She is deeply rooted in our hearts. Thank you God!
Shall We Gather At The River
Shall we gather at the river
The words of the song said
And suddenly, it became so real
As it played out in my head
I was standing there with others
When this vision came to me
As a figure all dressed in white
Standing right by my side, was He
Then I felt an arm around my waist
I glanced and saw my precious Neal
My heart beat nearly out my chest
When I realized, it seemed so real
Then suddenly there was another face
One that I’d longed to see
Her face so full of joy and love
Her mom once more to see
Then I felt someone take my hand
There stood my precious son
He looked so proud and happy
Among all those souls he’d won
Thank you Jesus for this dream
When I felt like I had a broken heart
I’m on my way, please hold my spot
Where never again will we be apart
Then we can wait for the other two
I pray they will find their way
To that gathering at the river
Where we will always stay
And finally the circle will be unbroken
As our loved ones, family, and friends are there
With my precious Savior
Who paid the price for all to share
