REX MACBETH

REX MACBETH



Rex Macbeth had a way with words,
Writing poetry with ease,
He wrote hundreds of poems for R & R Tire,
Radio ads in his own voice.

Rex Macbeth loved the Old West,
Outlaws like Frank and Jes-se,
His oratory of the James-Younger gang,
Brought it to life for me.

Rex loved the guns of yesteryear,
He knew them all by heart,
He bought and sold them every day,
Each had a story he would impart.

Rex had fun with cars and guns,
He loved his family too,
He will be missed by young and old,
Our Poet/Historian is now western lore.

May God bless his family as they mourn,
May He bless Rex’s memory,
Let’s not forget, life is very short,
Our time of grace, may soon flee.

Nyakobo

NYAKOBO


A pretty girl, of Sudanese descent,
Her love for Jesus, is evident!
Her smile is precious, bright and pure,
Her polio, she has endured.

NyaKobo is sure a great delight,
She loves to sing, her art is great,
She used to like math, now she don’t,
She loves lanquage, bi-lingual, well spoke.

Nya Kobo inspires, all she knows,
Her friendly personality, really shows,
I will always treasure, knowing her,
I look forward to sharing, our eternal treasure.

Jesus, please bless, Nya Kobo today,
Keep her near her Lord, I pray,
Teach her about Your great love for her,
This Easter morning, her risen Savior!

EVERY SOUL A TREASURE

The WELS Convention
Has a theme,
Every Soul A Treasure,
President Gurgel urged us all,
To practice this new measure.

When we see a Sudanese,
Or Somalian in our midst,
We should care for his soul,
Share the Gospel first.

When we see a Vietnamese,
In our neighborhood,
We should treasure his very soul,
just as Jesus would.

When we see a homeless man,
That is down and out,
We should find a way to help,
His life may turn about.

When God puts souls before us,
We now know what to do,
Treasure them like your very own,
He will show you how, I know.
