Autumn Prayers and Memories < !signature-->She's walking outside all by herself On a crystal autumn day As the leaves softly flutter to the ground The girl begins to pray. She asks God about her soul friend Who's been gone a number of years And wonders if he is in Heaven She's cried so many tears. She misses him more than she can say But always he's been in her heart So she knows that when she remembers They cannot be truly apart. On this day in the month of October Her heart and soul hear God say That her friend is safe and in Heaven And they'll be together one day. So for all the rest of her time on Earth She'll be thankful that he was her friend And remember that he is happy with God And know that their love will not end. Elizabeth October 17th, 2000 Something sweet, something sort of grandish, sweeps my soul when thou art near... hedeservesbetter@hotmail.com [This message has been edited by Elizabeth (edited 10-18-2000).] |
