Heavens Fishing Hole
For years, the riverbank was where your soul felt most at peace
Your heart was most content when there with the fish and the geese
But then, your spirit came to rest where angels chose to roam
And once equipped with ten pound test you made yourself at home.
The sky became your deep blue sea, the clouds became your shore
And there, for all eternity you sat with friends galore
Each angel was a fisherman who had traded his pole
For golden wings and a game plan at Heaven’s Fishing Hole.
The tales you told about each catch, its stature and its girth
Will live in memories unmatched as days pass here on earth
Until we meet again, one day upon God’s golden sand
We’ll picture you, no other way than with a pole in hand.
