In memory of the faith's ultimate wordsmith
Who cut to the core as he taught gospel doctrine
He'd metaphors, similes and alliterations
And most of all, his life was an inspiration
He served through his cancer, as he shared of his life
And how he loved Colleen, his dear beloved wife
We cannot forget he left us with- His meekness in Christ
After 30 books- this as his legacy- sufficed
And if he could speak again what would he say to us?
That as a cancer patient, he'd a sharper focus?
And that as disciples we'll each have a difficult test
Of what's hardest for us to do... then comes Jesus' request!
(And, then of course comes the greatest blessing- eternal rest)
