OFON SINGS

A TRIBUTE TO MY DON

OFON SINGS

OFON SINGS 

                                                                                 O. 
On angels wings my soul did fly
To my eternal home beyond the skies 
It's a place of peace and tranquility 
Where a heavenly mansion 
Was created just for me 

                                                                                  F. 
From sea to shining sea I had roamed 
Lending a helping hand as I go 
Driven by my passion of love and care
I comforted many in their times of fear

                                                                                   O.
Over the years
Many times my name was called 
And in my limited strength and humanity 
I tried to respond with love and kindness 
To them all 

                                                                                   N.
Now the ultimate voice has called my name 
And I've answered Yes! 
Here I am 
He beckons to me
From that holy city on high
To rest from all my labors 
In a garden of paradise
Beyond the skies

This is my song of freedom 
These are my words of goodbye.

RIP OFON.

Wilford,

as i clicked from page to page, looking to find the first of your poems posted here, a good place to start reading you of course. i found that you are very prolific and so in time I slowed my clicking down a bit to note the titles and get a sense of what you write about .... before I reached the beginning, I found this one and as it happens, as fate happens, OFFAN SINGS has something in common with my poem, the one you commented on, "feeling the Clyde". I enjoyed the read and the message very much.

I will, as time permits me visiting Cosmo, click to read your "others'. I look forward to those moments.

Mark
