My 9/11

September 11, 1988
Philip David Hertzler
Born around milking time
To the "Hallelujah Chorus"
Dr. Bonner cried

Large shoulders
Long, skinny fingers
Big eyes
I forget his weight and height
But he was perfect

Grew up overnight
Loves to be outside
Hunting
Fishing
Building houses
Shooting baskets
Visiting with friends

Lover of God
Lover of children
Lover of sister
Lover of brothers
Lover of dad
Lover of me

So glad you were born
So proud of your kindnesses
I trust your character
I love the way you communicate
So glad to have joy
On this 9/11
Thank you for coming to us.
