The Angels came to take him away

To the Spirit World, let us pray

A teacher at Soo Hill, that you might even know

A projectionist at the Delft Theatre, as we watch the show

Later, he and my sister became a Camp Host

Now my Brother-In-Law is a Heavenly Ghost

He battled Covid, and he did defeat

His heart only weakened, it ceased to beat

Maybe he thought “Time to leave this place”

“Too much for this old body to face”

I'm sure that many of us, feel exactly like that

Now it's a great place, where Harold is at

For years he helped me, in many a way

The computer, the taxes, and I've got to say

He gave me a ride to Elmer's, to get my fish

He was a great man, and here's what I wish

Remember this man, with a smile on your face

For he's spending his time, in a much better place

He'll not be forgotten, as long as I live

Because while he was here, he had so much to give

And he gave a lot. He always helped me. I got to know

him really well. Although Covid kept us further apart.

He'll be remembered in my mind and in my heart. In my

memories, he'll be guiding me along. Like the Teacher

he was in life. You know, he is the one who gave me

the idea to use pictures with my poems. And I did,

and that worked out really well. Thank you Harold! ^J^
