Austin

Since we couldn't be there physically to comfort our family, Dad wrote this to send.  I believe they even read it at the service.
Austin

When Austin arrived there was a ringing of bells
He arrived to a Loving Family of O’Dells

On earth Austin lived with lots of pride
With his Friends and Family always by His side

With his uniform on, to the field Austin would go
From the field he would put on quite a show

At the plate he would hit, run and score
All along he knew he would be a coach for sure

He coached from the dugout and it would seem
He made these players into a great team

We are put on earth for a journey to the Promise Land
As Austins’s ride arrived he reached for an Angel’s hand
The journey was swift so face to face, with God, Austin did stand

As Austin talked to God above
His Family stood behind him with support and love

When you leave this earth many believe life will end
But we believe with strong faith, Eternity in Heaven,
Austin will spend
Right now our hearts are broken, but with love and prayers they will mend

  1. We couldn't go to Austin's services either, but I know this poem was read and everyone there comment on what a loving poem it was.

    Love, hugs, kisses
