Silas Smith

Postby Twyrch » 14 May 2007, 13:26

My grandfather crossed over last night, to surprise my grandmother on Mother's Day.

Grandpa is now in a place and form where all diseases of the flesh and mind can no longer touch him.

Safe travels, Grandpa... :candle:

Silas Smith
Silas Junior Smith

Silas Smith was a gentle soul;
A simple smile could make you whole.
He'd give the shirt right off his back;
In love and faith, he did not lack.

A man of God, in word and deed;
Each step he took would plant a seed.
A seed of hope for those without;
He praised the Lord and was devout.

A faithful husband to his wife;
For Jean he'd gladly give his life.
More loving father, none could ask;
To raise four kids, his greatest task.

He bravely fought across the sea;
To save this land for you and me.
He loved to cut hair, swap and trade;
And through it all, a living made.

His life has been a shining light;
Protecting us with all his might.
My only wish, that he would see;
How much of him now lives in me.

Sorry to hear this Twyrch.
I know it's a dead-ringer, but at least HE is better off right now.

Wish you all the best in the coming days, you'll need it.

Thank you, everyone, so much!! :hug:

The outpouring of support I receive from my online family here is incredible. I hope someday I can find a way to return the love and support you all have given me.

I will be offline until later this weekend.

Blessings to all of you!
