This poem I wrote for my late uncle Carl who drowned in the Muskingum River when he was only 21 years old.

As I gaze upon the water in sight

I see the reflection of nature

Shimmering in the sunlight

It calls out my name

In a language I don’t understand

It guides my vision further

And takes me by the hand

It confuses my mind

But gives me a sign

It tells me Mother Nature is coming home

But I know I won’t be alone

For I have the Lord as my strength

And he tells me that my life

Has come to its length

I inhale deeply

For I know it’s my last breath

He leads me to a world, where there is

Life after Death

In Loving Memory of:

Carl Lee Roberts

Born: 1969 – Died: 1991
