" Dear One"

"Dear One"

Like the briskness of the wind how time flew by

as our friendships grew from within,

as much as the Lord is a part of me, 

that part of you also I am.

Through times of strife and insecurities

when you need a friend to care,

the presence of our friends are not secure

and they won't always be there!

Many of our interests were not the same

and at times we didn't fit in,

but our common love of our Father above

makes us brothers and sisters through the eyes of Him.

Put all your worries and cares upon him

and he will bare the load,

use the talents and gifts that He provides, 

not slowing down for the bumps you encounter along the road.

Shine your light upon all of those

you come in contact with along the way,

and may they see your your works and deeds

exemplified by your love for the Lord throughout each and every day.

And dear one most of all, 

with your presence I've been so blessed.

With your prayers and support each day

my life has been the best.

Richness and grace will follow you,

for this time we must depart,

but we'll all stay together in spirit and soul

with the love of the Lord firmly planted and blooming

deep within our heart.
