For years, the riverbank was where
your soul felt most at peace.
Your heart was most content when there with the fish and the geese.
But then, your spirit came to rest
where angels chose to roam.
And once equipped with ten pound
test you made yourself at home.

In Loving Memory of Mark S. Christensen
