Here's a preview/teaser of something I'm working on... make sure to pause between each entry so you can picture in your own mind what I am trying to say...
Picture David, driving his train,
Pleasing children, both young and old.
Picture David, enjoying his work,
Inventing a better way to get things done.
Picture David, adjusting his insurance papers,
A small thing, with such a lasting effect.
Picture David, vacillating over a choice,
Between a fun trip with friends or staying home with family.
Picture David, pausing a little longer in Joshua’s doorway,
Saying goodnight one last time to a son he loves so much.
Picture David, watching Jazzie as she sleeps,
Feeling in his heart, the deepest love a father.
Picture David, working with sweet Cristina,
One last evening spent together, deep in pensive thought.
Picture David, leaving his house,
On his way to what should have been a very normal December day.
Picture David, suddenly standing before the Savior,
Confused at the situation, but feeling that sweet embrace.
Picture Our Savior, telling David what happened,
And offering a choice to proceed with the work, or return to the earth with his family.
Picture David, contemplating that decision,
Knowing what it would mean to all of us,
Picture David, looking the Lord straight in the eye,
Saying, I’ll go where you want me to go.
As they receive and embrace the first of their very own.
Benjamin Kenney, you are too good with words.
