Final Resting Place - A Legend Poem by Darwin Henry Beuning

Final Resting Place - A Legend



I read this inscription
On the marble slab

Charles A. Lindbergh
Born Michigan 1902 Died Maui 1974

'If I take the wings of the morning
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea'

This review
Very emotional for me

No one to his left
No one to his right

As it was
When he flew over the Atlantic

He Flys Alone

An emotional epitaph for the pilot Charles Lindbergh, which I find memorable. He achieved great things on the flight across the Atlantic.

This poem is very thought provoking and touching. It is inspirational that he includes the Psalm 139. This Psalm has really inspired me and reminds me that God is everywhere and we can call him anytime, be day or night....there is never a busy signal or " the message -leave a message at the sound of them tone." It may be Yes or No or Wait or " I have something better for you" .

Gail, Thanks for the nice comments. Bea and I enjoyed our Maui visit with you. A high point for both of us. Was glad I was able to write two poems while visiting Charles A. Lindbergh's final resting spot. This visit a high point of my life.

Psalm 139: 9 King James Version (KJV) 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; King James Version (KJV) " i wonder what verse 10 says. hmm? THIS: " Psalm 139: 10 King James Version (KJV) .10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me." ok, no wonder Charlie had a successful flight! ! ! ! i think the grave should have verse 10 added. bri :)
