My heart went right to my throat
Then suddenly plunged to my stomach
The moment you pushed past me
And then you walked away
I went into a panic
I didn't know what to do
I could only think no,
I cannot lose you
I dropped to the ground
And began to despair
I did the only thing I knew I could
And started in earnest with prayer
"Lord, I cannot lose him
I cannot bear another loss."
I thought you'd gone out the door
Until I heard your cough
"Father, please don't take him
Don't let this friendship break."
Then I heard your footsteps
And saw your shadow cast upon my face
"Thank You, Jesus, Thank You
Please guide and help us through this
Let it stengthen what we share.
Please don't let this friendship break."
We just sat for a moment
I heard nothing but silence
Then I heard your voice
Our friendship would not break

Hey CD!   Haven't seen you here for a while.  I'm glad you agree but I'm sorry you had to go through something like that.
