God Be With You My Friend


I remember the last time I saw you
The last words I said.
The last time I touched you.

I remember the words you couldn't say.
The tears that you cried.
The look of sadness in your eyes.

I remember my last glimpse of you.
The last sound of your foot steps.
Your last attempts to say goodbye.

I wish it had been different.
That we could have been friends forever.
And you wouldn't have had to go away.

I wish that the hard times would have never come.
That we could have laughed together.
And we could have had more time for fun.

I wish you well my friend.
That where you are now is better than here.
And your tears have dried and you have learned to smile.

I ask our God to be with.
As you start your new life.
And face the fear of the unknown.

I ask our God to protect you.
From those who would harm you.
And the terror that has overwhelmed you.

I ask our God to uplift you.
Show you how much He loves you.
And how much I miss you.

I love you my friend.
I miss you more than words can say.
I know that God will always be near you.
And so will my prayers.

Oh, my dear sweet friend, I will never forget you.
