Tribute to Dorothy (Rest in Peace)

 
(Note: Candy's mother passed Wednesday---91 years)
 
 
 
Red! White! And---Blue!
 
 
Imagine “the King” croons America the Beautiful! In your mind
Embrace full-measure loving treasure for Peace to humble find
 
Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain…
 
Faith! Family! Freedom! Pennant-display on gonfalon of gold
Proud story of a humble life complete-lived be now tender-told
 
For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain…
 
But---for…Faith! No understanding reason for Love! All meaningless
Cherish---yonder! Live---now! Expect---best! Eschew all senselessness
 
America! America! God shed His grace on thee…
 
Absent value- Family! What worthy-thought proclaim a selfless Love!
For any I received I generous returned more to praise the Deity above
 
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea…
 
Freedom! Born of liberty: the natural sacred Trinity complete
And, in some end---among Seraphim and Cherubim a golden seat
 
Fear not!” And “Follow Me!” Essence of His “Word”-holy
One chance! No dress rehearsal! Advice to individual “souly”
 
For I have oft’ tasted honey-sweet the sugar-treat life-candy stick
Child-like dared challenge-innocent adult-tradition pleasure-lick
 
Live! Love! Laugh! Focus contemplate!
Vigilant be! Not one future be ever---late!
 
Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!
In one eternal instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!
 
Just one more thing---a more perfect life because of thee…I knew
Thank You! Lord! For blessings unfurled on Red! White! Blue!
 
Tendered with an intentional-purpose---to express…Love!
 
Amen!
