Reflections of Richard I ran off all acquaintances --The pain too hard to bare-- The longing nights and loneliness Only added to despair. There's not too many people Who'd stay there in that room; But I guess you knew-- Cuz you felt it too, When you lived on through that gloom. When I'm down in that valley, I'll be climbing up your hill, Cuz I know when I reach Heaven You'll be waiting for me still. You are my friend. We compared our operations, --The times we almost died-- The jokes the doctors played on us, Made us laugh until we cried. There's not too many people Who knows what we've gone through; And I still don't know-- What it is to die, But one day I'll be there too. When I'm down in that valley, I'll be climbing up your hill, Cuz I know when I reach Heaven You'll be waiting for me still. You are my friend. A friend in need is a friend indeed. ~English Proverb~ -Lighthouse Bob [This message has been edited by Lighthousebob (01-10-2003 01:07 PM).] |

What a wonderful prayer to your friend Bob, and I know how you feel by the last stanza as I can hardly wait to see my best friend once more as I miss her terribly. This was absolutely heartwarming. ~ The soul lies buried in ink that does not flow ~ |

What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful friendship. It is hard to part with someone who has been through so much with you... but he has finished his course and kept his faith. May you have a wonderful reunion with your friend someday in the presense of Lord Jesus. Thanks for sharing this, it will go in my library. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.--Jesus Christ |
