Sunlight of life fades
quickly
its shadows crowd our path,
and into the glorious light
of God we gently step.
For each, His pattern is set;
so, should I go before you,
no tears, my dear friend.
Remember only the happy
times we shared

John,
ReplyDeleteI am not worried if you go before me, dear friend, because I know we'll find each other again once I go to Haven.
Your friend always,
David
