A big man came into my world, 23 years ago.
full of life and energy, ready to meet the world
head-on and taking
no prisoners He needed your prayers.
A big man went to church camp describing his first Bible
to every one
who asked, I brought the HOLY one, and
still declaring he didnt need to bring it coz he couldnt read anyway. He needed
your prayers.
A big man attended the first day of school, afraid coz he
didnt know how to read. He needed
your prayers.
As he grew older and put on his baseball buniform he needed your prayers. As he grew even older in
age and ways of the world, while he faulted in his ways and turned from his knowledge. He needed your prayers.
A
big man decided to defend his country, to insure your freedom and mine; to set his life plans on the straight and narrow.
He left my truck last week and entered a big, cruel world, and as he finally turned towards me I saw two people, the big man
he has become and the little boy, when he was mine..
Pvt. 1st Class Joel Ray Knust needs your prayers.
