To you Pastor Cozzi I'd like to extend My thanks for all the time you expend The more you minister, more insight I gain About the Lord's Way to dispel my pain. You've lighted a candle to dispel the gloom That's always been part of my concrete room I am that candle that again has flame That once was snuffed by guilt and shame. You are a guide to His Word and Way Tending all His followers and those who stray Your sharing His Word has given me a chance To understand the Scriptures, my faith to enhance. The gift of life is what we receive When we accept Jesus and in Him believe God's Word the seed you are His sower You tend His garden, you're His designated grower. God's love and care you feel and live Showing others to find what faith will give With patience and love you tend His flock Always ready to serve, vigilant around the clock. Pastoring is the vocation that you've undertaken From this chosen path you won't be shaken God's given you strength and faith to persevere With God as leader there's nothing to fear. -David, ACI Cranston, RI
