So, So

My mission is accomplished
I've done all I know to do
For this WONDERFUL FORMER PRESIDENT
Whom I only briefly knew .

Just now a beautiful dove,
Launches from my window sill
As Nancy is seen standing
Stately, calm, and still.

As the Honor Guard descend stairs,
While Ronald Reagan is ascending higher
To a final resting place
To which we all aspire.

Slowly the procession moves
To the sound of the Navy Hymn
As PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN is forever free
Of sickness, suffering,... all effects of sin.

I can hardly contain my thoughts
Or see to write such words
For tears of sorrow are interspersed
With tears of joy for what I've heard.

THE VOICE of GOD Who speaks just now
As in my feeble way I attempt to write
All the things He's telling me
On this dark day, soon to become a darker night.

The hearse moves on from a flag at half-mast
As the world too is now reposed
Many I'm sure thinking in their hearts and minds,
"Where in truth does one really go?"

In "THE TRUTH" my friends is the answer still
If only man would see
THEE only ONE above all creation
Able to set us FREE.

Christ Yahshua, known to most
In a name not really true
For only in less than six-hundred years
Could anyone the name of Jesus, knew.
We see the route, the last and final trip

For the shell once known as him
As the very misty tears of GOD
Continue to fall at the thought of sin.

A Cathedral chime, a misty line
Proceed at a very slow pace
While Ronald Reagan no doubt is there
Viewing our Savior's face.

As Brit Hume, a man of honor to me
Speaks in reverent tears and awe
Attempting to relay the facts he knows
As these chimes are heard by all.

I can't wait to hear the angels sing
As Ronald Reagan is doing, no doubt now
To me, it sounds as good as can be
Until I view my Savior's thorn pierced brow.

I see Prince Charles, standing there
And know Prince William too
Or am told has also come with him
So he could this funeral view.

I'm forced to remember
Princess Diana, for whom also I have written
Foretelling at Prince William's beginning of life
Of a crown he to one day will be committing.

To a crown unlike that of the: "KING of KINGS"
As Brit Hume recites: "GOD'S" words
He that truly believes in Christ
"Will never die", is what I heard.

The arrival of the last remains
Of what soon will go into history
As our President and his Wife enter to: "Amazing Grace"
For the entire world to see.

Oh, how true is this fact Newton's hymn proclaims
That all the world might hear
The reality of which GRACE can truly be
As thousands upon thousands are in tears.

I'm glad "HE" paid this price for we
That eternally we shall know
Something all of us can obtain
If to the foot of the cross we go

Freedom beyond, what even Ronald Reagan knew
And tried to the world, impart
For he too had loved us more than we know
As He and Nancy shared with us their hearts.

I couldn't hold my tears of joy
To see them both embrace
At the foot of simple aircraft stairs
Displaying deep love as they met face to face.
Just think of the joy yet to be

For they both know the foot of: "THE CROSS"
Both willing to pay a price we really can't know
Which comes with being President...
what an awesome cost.

For once again they shall kiss and embrace
On the very best of final days
As all will come: "Face to Face" with HIM
Just beyond life's grave.

There Nancy stands as with a slight jilt she attempts
Her best posture to employ
As we're called to attention for our beloved President
Nancy's, Ronnie Boy.

For our departure is only a short time away
I tell you this is true
For like the umbrella I see, sheltering Nancy now
GOD will shelter HIS, through and through.

Scripture is now heard,
Which is both powerful and true
No man lives unto himself,
Something, Ronald Reagan knew.

As President Bush seats Nancy
Where she is soon to hear
America is a: "City upon the Hill"
A truth, which to Ronald Reagan was clear.

Oh' Nancy, what joy, at thoughts of your Ronnie Boy
And all he really means to me
As once again the AMERICA, I knew
Today the entire world can see.

I now see another person, dear to me
As Lady Thatcher shall always be
For England has never known such grace
And is not likely soon again to see.

She elegantly speaks of the humor we know
Ronald Reagan's crowning joy
And how HE used this humor we heard
For which he had reason to employ.

Dear Margaret Thatcher, we all love you so
Just as I have always loved your QUEEN
For She is "The Crown Jewel" as once I said
A person for which I hold GREAT ESTEEM.

I've never been honored enough to meet you both
But believe one day it will become a reality
For sure we'll one day meet, on the streets
In our future Eternity.

I now hear uttered those wonderful words
"GOD BLESS AMERICA", which is our request
And truly HE has answered this prayer
With Ronald Reagan, GOD gave us HIS BEST.

I'm tired and know my flesh must stop
But before I go I want to say
To the Reagan children whom I never knew
My love is with you all and I shall pray.

That one-day you find REAL peace of mind
Wherein SCRIPTURE one can truly learn
Nothing is exactly as we've been told
And each of you Eternity, in self alone can never earn.

Everything happens for a reason
It matters not that men refuse to acknowledge or see
I leave with Ronald Reagan's own words
Which mean all the world to me.

I do not fear what men think of what I write
All I'll say as now I go
Life has always been, in the simplest of words
RONALD REAGAN'S WORDS . . . "SO, SO".
