My Good Friend

For everything there is a season, and a time for ever matter under heaven."  Ecclesiastes 3:1

A friend of mine who touched my life
Has left his room called life on earth.
He's now at rest beyond life's strife.
Now in the void are memories
Of fellowship, laughter, joy, and mirth

As sorrow ebbs my faith endures.
We can't predict our journey's end.
We cannot see around each bend.
But we can live each precious day
With God's great love our firm mainstay.
