On A Creek and Heaven Bound
Written especially for Samuel, Elizabeth, Sarahmae, & Rosemary By Judge Bob Moon, Signal Mountain, Tennessee February 26, 2011
It was a cold and rainy February night When Emanuel reached the creek The horse drawn carriage carried his family As the stream ran fast and deep
Samuel had often traveled the road To the push button phone close by A common sight on the narrow paved road Where the relatives often said "Hi."
A call had gone out to all of the town In Mayfield and in Dublin To stay inside for safety's sake A hard rain is a comin'
But true to their faith in a living God And after supper with those they loved Emanuel and family pursued their course Amid the rains from up above
With halfway home and a mile to go Inside water, mud and wind The horse stood tall before the fall And the family fell within
Rosemary, Sarahmae and Samuel Became angels in a Kentucky storm And left their earthly bodies To take a Heavenly form
And Levi Yoder spoke of Elizabeth "Just an all-around good girl," he said Trudging through a muddy field Where a little girl was dead
And all the neighbors gathered round To the farmhouse where they live It is a touching thought, to know quite well Of the love the Amish give
It was a cold and rainy February night In a small Kentucky town That four small angels left this earth On a creek and Heaven bound
