Glenn Robert Wyder
Before
time beginnings ago,
God
imagines a Glenn,
and
each of us,
carriers
of Divine self,
breathing
grace,
demonstrating
integrity,
and
sharing hopeful love.
More
than six decades ago
Glenn
begins a mission
with
full throated
announcing
of faith
that
this world
needs
listen to these
continuing
incarnations.
More
than forty years ago
Glenn
becomes known
by
Florence who
dares
sharing dreams
that
a holy space
is claimed between
two
foolish loving mortals.
More
than a thousand days ago
Glen
came here to us
as
if he belonged
in
church and this town
by
laughing deeply,
planning
with integrity,
and
by living compassionately.
Today,
anew, we're giving thanks
for
Glenn's all too brief
bodily
time with us
as
friend and good neighbor
brightening
our lives
encouraging
our hopes
and
sharing his rich spirit.
The
tomorrows are coming
when
still hearing the laugh,
recalling
the wisdom
we'll
continue giving thanks
by
sharing his vision
when
we least expect it
by
reliving his love again.
