Tales From Two Texas Paw Paw

Hi folks, this is 2 Texas PawPaw and the reason for this blog is I like to tell stories and try to write a little poetry now and then. Most of my writings is about my family because I have the greatest family in the world, I realize if you dont know my family, it might be a little boring to you but maybe my family will get a kick out of some of it anyway, Hope you like it and if you dont, well, thats ok too, you're still my friend.

"THE DOOR THAT NEVER CLOSES"

Hi folks, this is Two Texas PawPaw. At the last place I was employed before my retirement, a friend of mine passed away. We were close and his Mother worked there also. She took her sons death real hard, as any mother probably would. I wrote her a poem and she has told me several times it really helped her through some tough days. I'll share the thought with you and perhaps if you have lost a loved one lately, it might help. It goes like this:-----THERE'S A DOOR THAT NEVER CLOSES, THOUGH IT OPENS BUT ONE WAY---IT'S THE DOOR THAT LEADS TO HEAVEN AT THE END OF LIFE'S LONG DAY---IT'S THE THRESHOLD OF FOREVER, WHERE THE HEART IS ALWAYS GLAD---IT'S A RESPITE FOR THE WEARY, AND A COMFORT FOR THE SAD---IT'S THE DOOR TO PEACE AND HEALING, AND THE DOOR TO JOY AND GRACE---WHERE THE MASTER GREETS EACH GUEST BY NAME, AND WITH A WARM EMBRACE---AND THE LOVED ONE'S WHO PASS THROUGH, INTO THE LIGHT THAT'S SHINNING THERE---FIND A SWEET AND PERFECT HOME, WITHIN OUR FATHER'S LOVING CARE---YOUR LOVED ONE NOW HAS FOUND THAT PLACE, THAT'S SWEET AS FRESH CUT ROSES---SO REST ASSURED THAT HE HAS PASSED, THROUGH THE DOOR THAT NEVER CLOSES:-----This is Two Texas PawPaw, signing off, and, the good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise, I'll be back tomorrow.
