GONE FISHING- A Poem by David Ritter
If someone should ask for me, tell ’em heaven is where I’ll be. I’ve finished all my life’s chores, and now I fish on heaven’s shores. The view is grand and the fishing’s great, but I yearn for you as I wait. I’ll save a spot on the river’s bend, for all those, I call family and friend. But for now, head to the Manistee and make a cast in memory, to all the good times that you had, with me- your friend, your grandpa…your dad. And if the fish no longer bite or seem no longer worth the fight, ’cause it’s me that you are missin’, don’t worry – be happy – I’ve gone fishin’.
