Herthey Hill

I was born on a farm and was raised in the city, and I have a high school diploma and have done about everything. I drove long-distance trucks for twenty-nine years and have been all over the United States and two countries. I write songs and poetry about things I have seen and done. I write gospel according to my feelings and belief.

ACKNOWLEGEMENT

FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I DEDICATE THIS BOOK IN HONOR OF MY OLDEST BROTHER, WALTER J. HILL, AND MY SISTER ELIZABETH SECHREST, ALONG SIDE SOME VERY DEAR FRIENDS, FOR WITHOUT THEIR HELP AND GOD’S, I COULD HAVE NEVER MADE THIS BOOK. POSSIBLE.

THESE ARE THINGS I HAVE EXPERIENCED AND FELT FOR OVER A PERIOD OF MORE THAN 50 YEARS.

I DO HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY THE READINGS OF THIS BOOK FOR MANY YEARS.

I HOPE YOU WILL HAND IT DOWN THROUGH GENERATIONS TO COME.

GOSPEL POEMS

COME ALONG CHILD

I REMEMBER… WHEN I WAS A KID…

SOMETIMES… I WOULD GET PRETTY WILD.

MY DAD… WOULD WEAR ME OUT…

BUT IT ONLY HURT… FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

AFTER I WOULD… QUIT MY CRYIN’ …

MY MOTHER… WOULD COMFORT ME.

SHE WOULD TAKE ME UP… IN HER ARMS…

AND SAT ME… ON HER KNEE.

THEN SHE WOULD… LET ME DOWN…

AND WITH… A GREAT BIG SMILE.

SHE WOULD TAKE ME… BY THE HAND…

AND SAY… COME ALONG CHILD.

AS TIME WENT ON… I GREW UP…

AND I CHANGED… MY LIVIN’ STYLE.

THEN I MET… THE WOMAN I LOVED…

WE DECIDED TO WALK… DOWN THE AISLE.

WE STARTED… TO MAKIN’ PLANS…

AND MEMORIES… BEGAN TO PILE..

THEN ONE NIGHT… WHILE I WAS SLEEPIN’ …

I DREAMED I TRAVELED MANY MILES.

I WAS STANDIN’… OUTSIDE OF HEAVEN…

ST. PETER WAS GOIN’… THRU THE FILES.

THEN I HEARD HIM… CALL MY NAME…

AND HE SAID… COME ALONG CHILD.

WHEN I WENT THRU… THE PEARLY GATES…

IT SEEMED EVERYONE… HAD A SMILE.

HE SAID THIS IS… YOUR HOME FOREVER…

AND FOREVER… IS A LONG LONG WHILE .

FATHER KNOWS BEST

MANY TIMES WHEN I WAS A CHILD,

I WAS JUST A LITTLE PEST.

IT SEEMED I COULD DO NOTHIN’ RIGHT,

EVEN AT MY VERY BEST.

SOMETIMES I WOULD ASK MY MOTHER,

WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH SUCH A MESS.

SHE WOULD SAY TALK TO YOUR FATHER,

CAUSE YOUR FATHER KNOWS BEST.

THEN WHEN MY FATHER PASSED AWAY,

I WENT THROUGH A LOT OF DISTRESS.

I HAD TO GO ALL THROUGH LIFE,

WITH A HEAVY LOAD ON MY CHEST.

THEN AFTER I GOT OUT OF MY TEENS,

I WAS PUT EVEN MORE TO THE TEST.

I STARTED DRINKING ALCOHOL,

AND THAT CAUSED ME UNHAPPINESS.

AND THEN I GOT INTO TROUBLE,

AND WELL YOU KNOW THE REST.

I HAD TO GO BEFORE A JUDGE,

HE WAS SITTIN’ BEHIND HIS DESK.

HE PUT ME ON SUSPENDED SENTENCE,

I’ M AFRAID I WILL HAVE TO CONFESS.

I WANTED TO MAKE A CHANGE SOMEHOW,

AND
