poem for a friend i lost to a car wreck

Posted July 27, 2007

i lost one of my childhood friends to drinking and driving. tho it was hard for me to handle, i know it was even more difficult for his parents. this is a poem i write for his parents speaking for him.

Our Tears Dont Mean Farewell

Dont you worry about me
It sure was hard to say goodbye
But everything here is so calm
Im not in any pain nor am I afraid
Now Im here to stay
And I know you and dad are sad
And miss you all so deeply
But Jesus called my name
And I answered Jesus call
Jesus and I have had a talk
He told me not to worry
He said it would not be long
Then you and dad will hold me
And to my dear sister I cannot wait
Until we can play again like we were 8
I hope you know Im in a better place now
O please dont cry any more
But understand my leaving
I didnt want to hurt you at all
But my Father here in Heaven
He had my bed prepared
And now I will lie at rest at night
And dream of you holding me tight
Never let your heart forget
The never-ending love we share
For in the end this love will take us
To a place we will all call home
You and Dad, you did your best
Now lets leave Jesus to the rest.
