Gian Turci: The Father of Smokers’ Rights
<div style="text-align: center;">Welcome!<br />
<br />
Welcome, life, to Home, at last.<br />
To peace and rest, your battles past.<br />
From faithful service Home to be,<br />
now rest in peace alongside Me.<br />
<br />
For years, so long, it’s been your strength<br />
that carried others journey’s length.<br />
O’er many years you’ve proven true;<br />
the faith I have in those like you.<br />
<br />
There’s much to do, still in My plan.<br />
There’s so much more I have for man.<br />
Your thanks from Me for a job well done<br />
is to help us now draw all to One.<br />
<br />
But first, dear life, come lean on me.<br />
Draw on My strength reserved for thee.<br />
‘Neath yonder tree, at peace, now rest,<br />
you’ve earned it now; you did your best.<br />
<br />
