Sometimes the ones we love the best
Are those who put us to the test
They try our patience or our purse
We’re never sure which is the worst.
We carry on with fingers crossed
And pray our purpose won’t be lost
No matter how hard it all seems
Rely on God to save our dreams !
My dearest friend I’m missing you
With all my heart when I am blue
We were great friends through all the years
Times were we laughed or cried real tears.
Some days were good and some were bad
We beat the odds though life was sad
I truly wish you were still here
For one last time to bend your ear !
MISS YOU.
To those I’ve known and loved before
Whose memories my heart has stored
Here in the reaches of my mind
Midst joy and feeings ever kind,
Remember that I’ll miss you all
And pray the Lord is at your call
While angels spread their wings above
And bathe you in God’s constant love !
Sometimes I dream ’bout long ago
And all the joys we used to know,
I miss that world so very much
Too sad we couldn’t keep in touch.
Seems now as though I’m in the past
Perhaps one that’s surviving last
Oh how I wish that I might spend
A day or two among my friends.
Well I’m no fool, that is a fact
We cannot bring the old times back
And need to bargain for much less,
Let’s settle for a huge God bless !
The shadows fall upon the eaves
To mingle in the evening breeze
The dwindling light now flickers slow
Soon tis the hour for light to go.
The sun is fading neath the hill
Before too long the wind is still
I hear a voice reach out to me
It’s searching for some sympathy.
The day’s been long and soon will end
The time has come to be with friends !
I wish, I wish that I could be
The candles on your birthday cake
The star upon your Christmas tree
Or mushrooms on your juicy steak.
I’d like to be your one true friend
A buddy who will understand
Or lifetime pal until the end
I would be there to help you stand.
Now friendship is a special treat
A precious gift that we may share
It softens many blows we meet
And gives us cause to smile and care !
I wish that you and I could be
Best friends through all eternity
But if that seems too long a time
I’ll settle for just this lifetime !
