Dad’s Christmas Angel

A Christmas Angel visited me today, she whispered in my ear, Willard its time to walk this way.

She held my hand as we walked the stairs where I met the Lord and we said our prayers.

Welcome home my son, for there on Earth your work is done.

Your mother is here and also your son. They have  waited awhile, and all the angel sung.

 I hugged my mother as I held my son and thanked the Lord for all he had done.

I’ll miss my wife, my daughters and sons, Fore Georgia I’m holding Danny our Precious one.

The Lord in Heaven is very true for he has….Wings

…For all of you..

Your loving family,
