Life Reflections

The time came for me to go, I heard my Master's call.

Know that I love each of you, I'll be waiting for you all.

He said He would fix all my ails; I left with a smile on my face

Smiling not because I left you, But because I'm in a better place.

I told him I was tired of fighting, He said the battle was already won.

"Is it really my time to go, Master?" His reply, "Well done servant, well done."

Thaddeus Anthony Williams was born on April 1, 1951, in Scranton, South Carolina to the late Martha Marie Stackhouse Williams and Benjamin Franklin "Tom" Williams.
