"Jonathan" How I loved you, how I could not forget the day you helped me escape death, when thy father wished for my death and forever were you there for me; dear friend, must we part, must our tears fall? We were the envy of the world, yet the two most true friends to each other; how agonizing it is that I must never see you again, as I ran up the mountain into hiding-- as I ran from thy father's soldiers, and my Sovereign Lord had to hide me; then soon you were ordered to war, for nations had fallen into rebellion-- on the battlefield you were slain. My best friend! My best friend! Forever dead yet forever remembered on earth, the blood of the innocent shed, all for the upholding of justice; o' what foolish nations, how could you rob me of my best friend, my best friend that I loved, and knew better than most; o' what woe and anguish befell this day, upon hearing the news of my friend's death; how high men have fallen, how they glorify war for their purposes! You were better than a brother to me! Yet you are now dead. |

Very nice... I'm sure if King David ever did a soliloquy (sp??) (and I guess he did, with all those Psalms he wrote), he would be proud... of course, I imagine that he would have more faith in God's promises, despite his pain... All in all, thanks for the read  Red |

I guess you could be right about that..... I just couldn't resist thinking how I would've felt in his place, or imagining myself as him.... btw I'm going to experiment with a little something.... not exactly directed towards you... just want to see if this works... |
