For Clyde Tinsley and the Son of the Living God

This afternoon we gathered to remember
a husband
father
grandfather
goodman
brother in the Body.

We sang songs and told stories:
he was a giver, encourager,
learned of the Word; dedicated to the beauty of his family and the spoken action of love.

Tonight we gather together to remember
son
brother
rabbi
friend
messiah
peace.

We are singing songs and in my heart are a thousand stories
as we read Paul's account of the beginning of the end
of the beginning of all we hope.
