That was for Etenity

poem by: Betty Redd
Written on Jul 12, 2016

Flames from the fire sparkled and cracked
fish frying in the cast iron skillet gave
the fish an extra out door flavor

camping with all of our family
was a present like a gift from God

Time of peace was sweet 
all of us had been through the fire
making it from mortal bodies to immortal

The thousand year reign just starting with the Savior 
here to watch over and care for us.

He walked up to our family with a beaming smile 
on his face.
Daddy stood up and said Sir we love you would you please
join us for our meal?
But I will join you in your noon day prayer 
then he vanished.
Angie walked up to me and said Mamma I have a surprise for
you.
I opened my eyes there stood both of my sons I never got to hold
Michael I have waited for so long a time.
He had his father's hair and my blue eyes.
Ashton threw his arms around me. I love you mom.
I know I look like my father with all of the freckles with
the blue eyes.
I want to meet my sister Tara and her daughters both of my sons
stated at the same time.
Daddy walked up to me and all of his grandchildren and great grandchildren 
He reached out to pick up all of the grandchildren right in the middle of them
laughing smiling joking with love and joy inside his spirit.
Mama was smiling too her heart was so overjoyed for all of us 
to be back together and that was for eternity.
