Family members, once lost <br />Now come running to you, found <br />And those who have gone before <br />Are once again with you, safe and sound <br />The souls that touched your life <br />All gather with congratulatory smile <br />And those whom you've touched <br />Thank you for the love all the while <br />Those companions you've had all along <br />Stand proud, strong... Holding your hand <br />And those who reached out so many times <br />Praise Him for your arrival to the Promised Land <br />Those who have prayed for you and your cause <br />Even when they did not know you <br />Dance to a never-ending beat <br />That you have stayed so strong, so true <br />In the throne as the Great I Am <br />He smiles and laughs in joy <br />To see the great gathering <br />Of all His girls and all His boys <br /> <br />((April 2nd,2001))<br /><br />Danny Speicher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-gathering-2/
