Your Portrait: "The R O C K"
By: Cheri Alderman - Ellabell
THE ROCK
T- here were many things going on that day?
H- e wasn?t feeling well and we all knew it?
E- ven Lori experienced the blunt force of his harsh words?
R- arely in his last days did we see the man we all loved so dearly?
O- nly in our memories would that amazingly strong man live on- until?
C- aptured in an everlasting, treasured portrait?
K- ing of our family! Smiling ever so slightly, that sweet, gentle soul peeks through?
My grandfather, Hubert Lee, was THE ROCK of our family. Our generational portrait was taken three months before he went home to Jesus. Unbelievably, the man we knew and loved stands out in this portrait despite the great pains he suffered. I am truly blessed to have this portrait treasure displayed in my home and even more blessed to have the fond memories it brings to mind.
