His Hall of Fame

After the death of coach Morgan Wootten, his family submitted a death notice that appeared in The Washington Post.  In addition to the names of those who survive him and the details of the services, the notice included the following: "The family is consoled knowing that Morgan is now in God's Hall of Fame."  And that is followed by this poem:
This crowd on earth they soon forget
The heroes of the past.
They cheer like mad until you fall,
And that's how long you last.
But God He never does forget,
And, in His Hall of Fame,
By just believing in his Son,
Inscribed you'll find your name.
