In Memory of Jacob
I looked upon the cloth of life
a thing of beauty to behold,
My eye was caught by the
shimmering light
of a Thread of solid gold.
This Thread had strength and courage
and many things uncommonly seen,
It stood out as a Thread of greatness
Upon the Master’s skein.
The master used this Thread in places
that needed an uplifting touch.
In many locations both near and far
its presence was cherished much.
The threads it touched were better off
than they were before it came,
and when it moved away from them
they never were the same.
I wondered to whom this Thread belonged
that came so close to mine,
and when I asked the Master,
he said “Jacob Robert Klein.”
We miss you Jake,
Love always, Your family
