OUR UNCLE FRANK
It was you who drove long distances to check on us.
See us get married, see our children grow up; and give
us strong hugs and gentle kisses. Always an
encouraging word or a kind suggestion; gifts of money
you rendered. Then we would travel long distances to
check on you. You took us sightseeing in the city, and
in New York too. Man could you ever walk. We loved
every moment of being with you. I especially remember
waking to find youd bought me a Reuben sandwich
while I napped (Ardena). And I remember the
infamous paper route I traveled with you early in the
morning (Kenny). You were so busy but the time for
visiting family was always made. When we heard about
your joining the church, and giving your life to the
Lord, we were ecstatic. YES! We submit this poem as
we feel it speaks of Our Uncle Frank in the stages of life.
I NEEDED THE QUIET
I needed the quiet so He drew me aside,
Into the shadows where we could confide,
Away from hustle where all the day long,
I hurried and worried when active and strong,
I needed the quite tho at first I rebelled,
But gently, so gently, my cross He upheld,
And whispered so sweetly of spiritual things,
Tho weakened in body, my spirit took wings,
To heighs never dreamed of when active and gay,
He loved me so gently He drew me away,
I needed the quiet, no prison my bed,
But a beautiful valley of blessings instead,
A place to grow richer in Jesus to hide.
I needed the quiet so He drew me aside.
Lovingly submitted,
Overseer Kenneth L. Johnson and Family
