    Poem Commentary

    This is in memory of the early night/morning that my Dad passed away.

    One Lone Star

     It seems like forever
    That we have been waiting
    Waiting for the Angels
    To come carry him home

    He was so tired from struggling
    He didn't want to leave us
    His body showed that struggle
    It couldn't go on much more

    The day was rainy and gloomy
    How has he fought so valiant a fight?
    We prayed the Angels come
    Then went home for the nigh

    Early next morning, the call came
    The fight was over and he was at rest
    The weather was foggy, but the rain had stopped
    When we went to say goodbye

    When we got to the home, I looked up
    There shone one lone bright star overhead
    No where else was there another star to be seen
    We knew it was Jim-bo on his way home

    Good-bye Jim-bo, we love you.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
