Cousin Charlie
We grew up together working on the farm
Going to Grandpa's playing in the barn
Walking in the bean fields pulling all the weeds
Early in the spring planting potato seeds.
As we walked in the bean fields throwing clods of dirt
Hoping that none of us would ever get hurt
You planted the straightest corn rows of any farmer around
Hoping for the best corn yields to abound
Your smile and humor brought joy to all
May your spirit remain among us as you received God's call
Your work is complete on this earthly place
As you join your Dad and God in your heavenly space.
In Loving Memory
Rich
