Goodbye Friend

 Death came knocking on his door.

But he did not know he would be no more.

He had no time to say goodbye.

Or pack his bags.

Or see others cry.

He lived a life, all filled with love.

And sowed good seeds, sent from above.

To hear the words that people say.

You might think he had found his way.

Today we weep and mourn his loss.

As we say farewell at any cost.

Just to know we had him near.

Would bring us comfort, in the midst of despair.

Oh

friend and brother, that you were.

My heart is heavy, but I will endure.

For the gift you gave, of love so fine.

Would rest inside, until we sit and dine.

I pray that God embrace you dear.

And in His arms, you rest with care.

Sleep in peace, until we meet.

When we will bow, at Jesus's feet.
