Called To Soon Poem by louis rams

this is dedicated to leslies nephew- our prayers are with him

we saw the smile upon your face when
you felt the LORDS tender embrace.
when he told you it was time for you to depart
but that you'd always be in our hearts.

you went with our LORD, for you knew
that we would be sad 'it's true.'
but there is a better place in time
that we would all meet.
while HE sat on his heavenly seat.

judging all that came this way
which ones would go and which would stay.

but he knew that in our hearts
you became a very big part.
so through these gates we will pass
to gaze upon your face once again.
for here, you found many a friend.

your smile will light up our face once more
and the flame will reignite in our hearts,
and you will hear the words that
we all wanted to say
and to the LORD, we did pray.

we prayed that you would be our shining light
and through our prayers, we'd feel the LORDS might.

'you are our shining star'
