告別
我親愛的朋友
從感恩節餘溫尚未褪盡的土地上
乘著清冷晨霧中的小船
背對太陽上昇的方向
朝半月灣的暗礁猛浪
搖搖晃晃前航
當金星木星相會
和上弦月形成天空的笑臉時刻
提早扺達他終生嚮往的境界
不踏上岸了
他補捉到比螃蟹更好的珍寶
不需要孩童們迎接英雄式的歸來
寧願留在異域寧靜安歇
今天 我的朋友啊
冰冷的軀殼化作火鳯凰
我們不再有他失約未歸的證據
隨著煙灰銷溶在空中的分子
隱隱閃鑠他存在的回憶
從感恩節餘溫尚未褪盡的土地上

提早扺達他終生嚮往的境界
不踏上岸了

Certainly we will see Jim in heaven
This is a sad time for all of us and certainly for Jim's family. Let's remember them in our thoughts. They also need the collective strength and support of our prayers.
We have all suffered a great loss. No one has ever been able to explain why death comes when it does. Even though it's inevitable, death is often unwelcome. But it's a reality of life that all of us must face.
I'm not going to try to explain Jim's death. I don't know why this was his time to leave us. But I do know that God's timing for our lives, while sometimes shocking and seemingly without reason, is his to determine.
Right now we cry for Jim. Our feeling of loss is almost more than we can bear. But what we can gain from this is a clearer understanding of how short our time is together and how precious each one of us is. Because of Jim's death, let's cherish life and each other a little more.
As we grieve over the loss of our beloved brother Jim, may we look forward to the hope that awaits those who know Christ: "He will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes" (Revelation 7:17b).
In celebration of life over death,
Levi H.

In Memory of Jim Hsu
I am sadden to hear of Jim's untimely passing. He was a generous and devoted member of the Gospel Chinese Christian Church. I remember him during church fellowships and gatherings to be very kind, thoughtful, devoted, and full of energy. Many children would run up to greet him at all times. He loved to cook, I remember; seeing him cooking when I attended his house warming party. My condolences go out to Jim's family. I am sure God is watching over him.
