Wishing for Ben

Ben loved to play,

Work was easy for him, but not much fun.

Ben was a very affectionate guy, But he became easily angered when others didn't understand.

He enjoyed his PlayStation II games, He was constantly trying to improve his skills.

He wanted to go to college.

He wanted to join the Marines.

He wanted to be with his children most. But there were forces beyond his control that held him back.

He resigned to just partying with his friends, He loved being with his friends, And, oh, how they let him down.

He will be happy now. He will not worry. He is with God, And Jesus led the way.

With love, Mom

Psalm 23 of David.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
