Sleep Well My Son....Your soul is at peace
~ ~
Maury has joined the angels with the mighty drums
He was music himself in life
The many lives he touched
The love in his heart.
He brought so much joy
To the people in his life
Sharing his passion
Sharing his love.
Maybe his burden was too heavy to carry
Maybe it was his time to go
This we may never know
We need answers Lord.
How can a healthy guy of bold
Suddenly be dead and stone cold?
He was so active....so alive
God, help us to survive.
He fought the war in "Desert Storm"
He was to leave & battle the war in Iraq
He would have gladly died for his country
But his battle in life was over.
He promised his daughters he would always be there
Now with the help of Jesus
They will always be aware
Of his presence and love.
Maury's life was rough and rocky sometimes
Just like the teen years
When they always listen to their peers
Trying to find a place in the world.
Maury had found his place
His life was the Navy
His love was his daughters
Always hanging on.
Just a little longer Mom
I will have that doctorate
Maury would always say
While working full time
Taking care of life.
He's in a wonderful place
Playing the blues
Looking down on his friends
Smiling and saying
This is not the end.
Maury whispers from the heavens
I will see you all soon
When the angels bring you to me
I will be waiting with arms opened wide
No fear nor heartache you will ever need to hide
God will take it all away.
Sleep well my son
As you breathe a sigh of relief
Your soul is now in heaven
You will find eternal peace.

VISIONS OF LOVE
Sleep Well My Son....Your soul is at peace
~~He Left Me Too Soon~~
He was vibrant and loving, living life exuberantly,
my Son, my love, filled with generosity.
An example of Jesus, he graced our life each day,
a witness for God in his own special way.
I pause to remember the special times that we shared,
happy smiles, little hugs, now just remnants of his care.
My heart once overflowed with the joy that he brought,
but he left me too soon and I feel so distraught.
I asked God for His help and He gently replied,
assuring me someday I’ll lift my eyes to the sky
to view the bright sunshine He’s sent to me,
and I’ll know that His grace covered me completely.
Yes, time is a healer and it softened the blow
I first felt when he left me, when I felt so hollow.
I thought then of events I never would see,
of his life’s accomplishments that would never be.
But now, I reminisce and see through the grief
that God has been with me sending daily relief.
My heart hears his laughter on a sunny afternoon,
and my soul feels his love though he left me too soon.
In my mind I once more can now take command
of the thoughts of my son as he once held my hand,
and I now can release him, though there’s tears in my eyes,
to the hand of our Savior, to his home in the skies.
And I now can rejoice that on a street of pure gold
he’s walking and talking, seeing God’s glory unfold.
And I know in my heart I can always commune
with my Son, my love, who left me too soon.
IN LOVING MEMORY OF
MAURY M. MERCKSON
WHO LEFT TO MEET JESUS ON MARCH 23, 2003
John 17:24 NIV
Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am,
and to see my glory, the glory you have given me
because you loved me before the creation of the world.
