November 1988

my companion

I’ll miss you

too soon our paths diverge

each going on

as our God sees fit

I count as blessing

the years we spent as friends

you’ve helped me grow

into what I am

I love you

as I love few others

and now our lives depart

the course that once they shared

our great God

whom we both serve

eagerly

calls us on

I’ll miss you

weeping that those days are gone

rejoicing

at the days that come

as God has promised

when our lives again unite

before His throne

singing praises to His name

the one who made us friends
