Keeping On

I lost a dear friend late last week. We said our good-byes on Monday.  To my childhood friend and one of my "big brothers", I love you.


Last Visit

Today I spent time getting dressed
Making sure what I wore was clean and pressed
Head held high, shoulders back
I ask for strength, I know I lack

One more glance in the mirror
Then out the door to see you dear

Restless nights, filled with prayer
Placing you in God’s comfort and care

A dreadful day, full of tears
Thinking of you through the years

Memories of our childhood days
Neighborhood fun, games, and playful ways

Words we say and memories shared
Show your family how much we care

We say good-bye for you are gone
But in our hearts, you live strong
