102524 Other Plans a Tribute Poem for Colson Lee Clark...

Other Plans…

I boasted of having

A fishing, hunting

and golfing buddy,

But God had other plans…

Colson our grand son

Would be 4 years old

A big brother to

Allison & Daniel’s

Precious Caragan

Grace and Claire Rose.

But God had other plans…

Watching Alabama football

And Atlanta Braves baseball

Games together,

But God had other plans…

Watching him shoot a

Basketball or throwing

A football,

But God had other plans…

Watching him grow up

To be whatever he

Wanted to be,

But God had other plans…

Watching him lead a song

At worship or maybe preach

A sermon,

But God had other plans…

What are little boys made of?

Snips and snails,

And puppy dog tails;

That’s what little boys

Are made of.

 

Little boy blue,

Come blow your horn,

The sheep’s in the meadow,

The cow’s in the corn;

But where is the boy who

Looks after the sheep?

He’s under the haystack

Fast asleep.

Will you wake him?

No not I,

For if I do,

He’ll be sure to cry.

 

Baa, baa, black sheep,

Have you any wool?

Yes, sir, yes, sir;

Three bags full;

One for my master,

And one for my dame,

And one for the little boy

Who lives down the lane.

Nobody knows the trouble

I’ve seen,

Nobody knows

But Jesus

 

***

 

We will never forget

Colson…

 

I reset a cedar tree

From the creek bank

Of where we live

In our yard.

 

I have named the

Cedar “Colson’s Tree”

 

We will see Colson in

Heaven, he is now

Safe in the arms

Of Jesus.

 

Knowing this

Gives us

Comfort and peace.
