Poem for Tony Greene

Mourning the loss of a not-so-near friend
He fought and fought all the way to the end

Today he left us, for a more glorious place
He was taken away to see God's brilliant face

While we cried and we wept,
God worked and He prepped

While God finished the Work in him,
The light in him began to dim

The time came and he passed
We all stood steadfast

The mourning began with a single tear drop
At 4:25 on the one lonely clock

We gathered and sang
Lifted our hands and prayed

For his daughters and wife
And the loss of his life

His fans say, "We love you,
We'll pray and we'll miss you.

As you walk beside the calm and still waters
We'll kneel and we'll pray at the foot of the altar"

He's safe and he's Home
Gone forever to roam

Next to Jesus' side
With his eyes finally dried
