Wish You Were Here – The Saturday Morning Post by Pastor Ted Stahl

I dreamed I got a greeting card,

From a loved one on vacation.

It read: Lots of rest and relaxation.

Having a wonderful time.

Wish you were here.


The music is playing, the people are singing.

I just love the gift of joy they are bringing.

Having a wonderful time.

Wish you were here.


The temperature’s perfect.

The sky is blue.

I really miss the both of you.

Having a wonderful time.

Wish you were here.


I’m sorry now, but I have to go.

Our Saviour comes on the street of gold.

The trumpets sound!

The people cheer!

But all I can say is,

Wish you were here.

For Melissa

December 6, 1975 through eternity (John 10:28).

Peace. (1Thessalonians 4:13-18)
