Which ones You will call home.
Sometimes people say You pick only
The best for Your heavenly "Flower
Garden."
(A sentiment, by the way,
That brings little comfort.)
Today I think Randy's family wishes
You hadn't uprooted Your best so
Quickly.
He was their best too, best
Husband, dad, and
Grandpa, and suddenly he was
Gone, without even a
Chance to say good-by.
They wish You had allowed him to
Grow a little longer,
Be cherished a little longer,
Bloom a little longer right here
Where you planted him.
