Because He Cares
Well, he's always where you need him
Long before you know you do
He'll shoulder any burden
For his need to help is true
And somehow his simple blessings
They will help you to go on
But when you look up to thank him
You will find that he is gone
For the Lord has given wisdom
To this kind and simple man
Who has made it his life's mission
Just to help his fellow man
It matters not their station
They could really be quite small
For this gentle man's a hero
Who stands fully ten feet tall
I have watched him tend the dying
And help animals give birth
For just his love of family
He would try to move this earth
Everthing he has he'll give you
Just then ask if you want more
And I've seen him toil and labor
Till his body's tired and sore
I don't know how to thank him
I don't even think I can
Just the gift of his great friendship
Would make one a better man
So I pray now his life is over
And those pearly gates he sees
That his God will bid him welcome
Then say 'son come rest with me'
'For your earthly toil is over
All your battles you have won
You have earned your seat in heaven
Welcome home, my son, well done'
This poem is dedicated to my son
with all the grateful love a mother's
heart can hold.
JAMES
Who has done so much to make
This earth a better place for me
Without his love and unceasing
care I would not have had the
past 10 years.
I Love you , Jim !
