Jehru
Named for Jehu: 2nd Kings 9
King James Bible
His countenance glowed
His eyes twinkled as stars
A constant look of boyish mischief
Innocent of society’s scars
Jehru
One who knew
Hard work, dedication, and determination
Would get him through
All of the above
Is what he was taught to do
Jehru
Named for Jehu
Who did not bow to evil
Man-child considered even still
Not a hard force to be reckoned
Just a meek, mild, and humble instrument
Of God’s perfect free will
What a bright son
To revolve around
For burning ashes and dust
Living down here on the ground
In the darkness of the dreariest day
Jehru’s pleasant smile
Brightened the depressed, gloomy way
Your light dimmed and flickered
We will never let it go out
Your spirit remains rooted
In our hearts without doubt
A soul of compassion
A miracle of God’s grace
Jehru, Jehru
Jehru-salem
Rest in peace
Amongst kings Man-Child
