A Gentle Soul at Rest

In memory of David Askew, Sr.

He walked with grace through quiet days, A steady heart, a faithful gaze. With hands that worked, with
love that grew, He gave the world a life so true.
His laughter warmed the coldest night; His wisdom was a guiding light. In every hug, in every prayer, we
felt his love beyond compare.
Though now he rests, his spirit stays, In whispered winds and golden rays. We'll hold his memory, strong
and deep, A treasure ours alone to keep.
So sleep in peace, your work is done, Your legacy shines like the sun. Forever missed, forever near- In
every heart that holds you dear.
