In An Instant



For only an instant; I looked away,
Then found that Jesus was calling my name.
I hated to leave with things left unsaid
The Lord calls your number,
Your choice has been made.



I lived my life to the full it’s true
There was little in life that I didn’t do
I rode bikes because they were there
The freedom found biking is beyond compare.



I was a son, a husband, a lover, a dad,
A brother, a good friend, really, that’s all I had.
But the one thing I didn’t get a chance to say,
Is that I love you; and will; till you join me someday.



Remember me: with ‘Just a Bit’ of a grin.
Know that I’m walking with Mom and Dustin
Forty is too soon to be taken away,
I’m sure you think there is more I should say.



Yet, I know, if you live your life in true love,
The Lord waits for you, in Heaven above.
So care for each other, be gentle, be kind,
And I’m sure that in your heart you will find,



That I haven’t moved so very far away,
And I will be with you day after day.
Remember me, not with tears, but a smile,
And my love, as I sit here and ‘idle’ a while.
