The Treadway's

A Poem Writtten By Sandy Evans

Mine Disaster at Massey Energy’s Upper Big Branch Mine in Raleigh County, W.Va.This Monday has drawn to an end for me...

With black, dust clouds around me...a light I now see.

From fear to peace..I feel the transition:

From a dirty, old coal mine...to a beautiful mansion. I’m sorry I leave you to grieve me this way;

But I wouldn’t come back to these mines one more day.

The tasks left undone you now must complete

I’m resting today at my dear Savior’s feet. And don’t weep too long...Go on live your lives.

This to my family...the children and wife...

I will see you again...in the sweet bye and bye;..

Where coal dust will never again dim my eyes. So pack away the bucket, the light and the hat.

I have everlasting life...Won’t need all of that.

And someday when God’s ready...he’ll call you to the fold...

I’ll wait for you by the river, on the streets of pure gold. Massey Employees 2010- “I Once Was Lost...But now, I’m Found...” Amazing Grace....
