A poem in memory of Tello Vasquez

The Hunter

By Mollie Perez

"He wasn't even a hunter" is what they all would say

But he became a hunter of men one beautiful autumn day

In his full life, he won the favor of each and every soul

The hunter was put on this earth to fullfill God's special goal

The goal was not a deer, nor a buck, or a dove

The hunter's heavenly goal was to teach us about God's love

"I'll be ok!" are the final words that he gave

In his life and in his death, YOU were his goal to save

The hunter should be presented with the highest gaming award

So many hearts he hunted down and laid before our Lord

While on earth enjoy this life just as the hunter would

He laughed and he loved his life each second that he could

Learn from the hunter and live life to the fullest everyday

Remember the hunter smiled as he told you it would be ok

When you're feeling lonely, just look where hunters should be

Go outside and open your eyes, he's everything you see

He's the rustle of the fallen leaves, he's the smell of fresh cut trees

Open your heart and open your hand, you'll feel him in the breeze

Put aside all of your sadness and rejoice that he reached God's goal

And thank the Lord that you knew the hunter because he saved your soul

So pledge your heart to God and ever happy you will be

To live with Jesus and the hunter in eternity

I wrote this for my dear friend Candice and all of those touched by the life and death of Tello. We love you Tello!
