The Last Lecture

Contributed by tifrob on Tuesday, 29th July 2008 @ 06:28:09 PM in AEST
Topic: Tributes

He is alive and at the same time gone,
His substance lingers with each new dawn,
He touched a world ~ That was hard to reach,
His chosen profession ~ His mission to teach,
He left his mark of virtue and of grace,
He left his world a better place,
Life was precious ~ Life he loved,
Even as his name was echoed above,
Lessons to prepare ~ Before he could leave,
Knowing his loved ones were going to grieve,
Answers to questions ~ He wouldn’t be here to give,
So he left little lessons to help them to live
Leaving two sons ~ A daughter ~ And a wife behind,
Needing to leave their world ~ With purpose ~ Not blind,
A young man he was ~ A young man he died,
Leaving family ~ Friends ~ And strangers to cry,
So the echoes continued ~ While he made plans,
Needing to know ~ That his family could stand,
During this time he tried to impart,
All of the goodness that was deep in his heart,
His students relayed the lectures he gave,
How even in dying ~ His living was brave,
Integrity enveloped this one special man,
His Last Lecture ~ Was written by ~ God’s Own Hand.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
