Just inside the Big Gate .. on the west side ..
I imagine there is a gathering of men .. Deacon Deason, Big John Hosford, Dale South, Allen Taylor, Charlie Smith, Jack Pender ... so many more now ... and I imagine they have a fire going with a pot of coffee bubbling.
I can see all of them crowding around the latest arrivals .. welcoming them .. hearing the latest news ... sharing old stories .. laughing at old times ... looking forward to new times while they wait on the rest of us to arrive.
Walking around among them .. hugging some .. shaking hands with others .. a man of medium height and dark complexion who has some really nasty scars on His hands .. as He welcomes them home ....
And they are all laughing at Miss Beth, telling a joke

You brought a tear to my eye. Too many dear ones gone....
Yes indeed, too many, but I'm thankful for good times
