The Eagle

on a frigid February morn
a bald eagle above did soar

a day in which we did celebrate

the life of a man who was great

people came from far and wide

for a man who stayed at the side

of those he cared and loved so dear

and that is why we are here

the next day we gather again

this time it is the end

the time in which we say goodbye

in our grief we sigh and cry

as we head to the grave side

we look up to the cloudy sky

and in the sky soaring above

is the eagle with the heart of a dove

a reminder of this special man

who was a father, son, and friend

a firefighter to the core

that is why the eagle soared

so as we said our last goodbyes

we kept our eyes to the skies

the eagle brought us hope and peace

even though his life did cease

and so we continue with our day

and for the family we pray

that comfort from the Lord above

shall remind them of His love

~ Isaiah 40:28-31 ~
Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understand is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
and the young men shall fall exhausted;
but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.

I will miss you, Mr Schairer! I'm so thankful I got to meet you! <3
