John Eugene Adams 1956-2006

 John Eugene Adams 

I see the pain and sorrow in your faces
I feel the deep love in your hearts
Do not look upon me with sadness or pity
Do not see my life as a tragedy
My purpose has been fulfilled

Many see the hardship and pain of my life
But sit, very very still, 
still your mind and listen, 
listen for the truth.

My life was no tragedy
If I have brought out in you tender feelings
Of mercy, of compassions, or bonds of love
My purpose is fulfilled

You may see great sorrow
But listen quietly, there is so much more!

Inside John was a heart that was good.
You find no evil there!
Inside was a tender heart 
Of kindness, of meekness, of love.

A life of sacrifice,
that you and I might sit and listen 
and know
John’s purpose in life has been fulfilled
Not all are given the same roles in life
John’s gift to me now is as fresh as spring.

John loved; John’s flesh may have been weak
But if you listen closely you will know
John’s heart was so good.

John is a man that has taught us
That love knows no bounds.

Because we love John that way!

The truth stands.
God’s love and goodness are manifest,
in mercy, in love, in humility, in sacrifice.

Now with John it is manifest, in peace, 
and a heart filled with joy.
A love of God open wide!  
A great reunion with dearest family.

Tragedy Never! 
In the arms of God?  Yes!
In a place of love and peace to his weary soul? Yes!
A resounding, Yes!

If you listen carefully,  
you will  know these things are true. 
For the love and mercy of God is manifest
in the life of. . . John Eugene Adams

Dearest John,

This is a hard post to share and very personal.  I can't speak for others but I feel a tribute is so appropriate.  You left us so young but you left an impression that will last forever and you are never forgotten.   Till we meet again. Your Cousins, Bill & Teri
