Charles Jarrell, 5/12/1990 – written the day after he passed, at home, following heart surgery & complications

He was sitting in his easy chair
a favorite place to be
while the angels stood nearby
watching quietly

They waited in the corner
’til he was all alone
then carefully they took his hands
and led him gently home

Now he’s walking with his Lord
beside the crystal sea
where the Son of God shines bright as day
throughout eternity

The lives he touched are un-numbered
like grains of sand along the shore
and among the many who love him
he lives on forever more
