Sean

It is over now.

The last labored breath has been taken in this dusty place.

Strong hands that smoothed wood and fashioned furniture

that delivered important missiles to people far and wide

that led a son to the bus

threw a frisbee

tickled a small belly

caressed the love of his life

Now rest in the warm grasp of the One who knows him best.

Arms that heaved loads

embraced tearful blonde boys,

spun a laughing wife around the kitchen

eased others' pain

Now encircle a mother, loved ones unmet, a joyful Father.

Eyes that twinkled with warmth

Looked upon people with understanding

Shined with conviction and faith

Glowed with love and deep joy

that saw a need and quickly met it

Now reflect a landscape unimagined, colors unseen, the smile of Love itself.

A man who gave all to those he loved. Now has it all.
