Ron

my first thought was

"No more hugs"

and I was sad

my next thought was

how your smile glorified so many Sundays

I can't remember them all

I can remember only this

you were my blessing

the smile when mine went missing

I thank our God for you

I thank our God for the gift of knowing you

I thank our God we could share this life

I thank our God we will share the next

I will miss you

In fond remembrance of my friend Ron Paul,

who passed away earlier this week.

He was everyone's friend really,

and always greeted everyone with

his glorious smile and a friendly hug.
