1939
The stock market crash
Crying sounds heard
Twins are born
Infants eight and nine
Daniel and Dennis
Mother thin with hollow eyes
Jobs there are none
Fathers absent
Looking for any work
Worried looks and little pride
In Europe war broke out
Mothers breast nourishes two
Nourished with worry and love
The twins they learn to crawl along
Inocent joy not knowing what life is about
Toddlers two share everything
Oatmeal faces and no milk
Memories go back to four and five
A red rider filled with scrap iron or coal
A champian father of now thirteen
Hand me downs and happiness
Five cents for a movie show
Shirly Temple dances and sings
Fathers come home
The promise of chicken on every dish
Time passes the twins are ten
Riding in a moving truck
Spinning down a road called Krafft
A path of mud
Together again and again
Cys in the hands of ten year olds
Tall grass must be cut down
A neighbor comes and plows
Potatoes sown in the whole front yard
Daddy daddy Why so cold
Little time for fun
The family has grown to now fifteen
Summer passes to bring on harvest
Our own and helping neighbor
Daddy gets a money sum
A two story farm house
In the celing a small vent
A wood burninge stove
Cherry hot in the dinning room
Twin brothers muse
Scraping bedroom window to look out
Snow falling on the long long drive
Two feet four
A brother and twins must shouvel
Just the brother puts on a pout
Happiness is not knowing
How do others live
Feed our chickens geese and ducks
Slop the hogs feed and milk the cows
Hurry to catch a buss for a little schooling
A blue eyed girl seduces a heart
Service calls the twins are split
One in Europe I stateside
Time flashes and love is married
Four children broken apart
Daniel twin comforts Den
Darkness overcomes
In a crowd loneliness
Emptiness
The worlds covered in dark sin
Hardly a reason to want to live
The river flows and the river flows
Gloom and tears so many welt
Depression is being in hell
Comes a brown eyed girl name Bev
Love has taken its time
Smiles can return
Four children Gary Cheryl Charlie and Mary Ann
1993 and death takes my twin
Alone I'm not worth a dime
What is felt is kept deep within
Sadness I won't let surcome Happiness is a child named Jesus
So forunate I have two
Charlie and Mary Ann
Brothers sisters I have lost four
Death death you leave a sting
Darkness can shadow a heart In Christ lies all hope Satan had his finest hour
Brothers sisters I miss my twin
Sisters and brother I miss you too
On that cross Gods finest hour
In all love and mercy
Jesus covered our sin

This is a heart-wrenching narrative of a most precious life, that has known the ups and downs, the vicissitudes, and joys as well as the very depth of grief .
But He hold our destinies in his hand, and as lonhg as we keep our eyes fixed on Him, all is fine, - He will transform the uncertainties, the harshness and the pain suffered, into gloriouis certainties and glory.
Thank you Dennis for sharing with us in the profoujndly moving lines the path of yours and those you love.
May you and they forever be BLESSED abundantly

Whoa I hope Jesus covers my sin...
because I have done completely everything in my power to win....
But it seems that the race is longer than I thought it goes on for years and the finish line ins't actually a line to cross just and elevation of thought... |
