A FRIEND

By Leola Snider Perkins

Dear friend of mine
For many years
We have laughed together
And shared our tears
For those we loved
Who now are gone
To a Heavenly home
They call their own.

Our friendship is
So very dear.
We have shared time
And have no fear
That time will take
Our love from us.
We have a closeness
And a trust.

A faith in God we also share.
We hope He’ll keep us in his care.
