The Gathering Poem by Danny Speicher

Family members, once lost
Now come running to you, found
And those who have gone before
Are once again with you, safe and sound
The souls that touched your life
All gather with congratulatory smile
And those whom you've touched
Thank you for the love all the while
Those companions you've had all along
Stand proud, strong... Holding your hand
And those who reached out so many times
Praise Him for your arrival to the Promised Land
Those who have prayed for you and your cause
Even when they did not know you
Dance to a never-ending beat
That you have stayed so strong, so true
In the throne as the Great I Am
He smiles and laughs in joy
To see the great gathering
Of all His girls and all His boys
