Goodbye My Friend

Just heard that you have passed away,
the sadness breaks my heart.
But memories will never die
your loved ones keep that part.

I’ll always remember the faith you shared,
your boldness and your tact.
You did whatever you could do
to teach the Kingdom Fact.

We have been friends for many years,
and why I am so sad.
I missed the chance to say goodbye,
oh how I wish I had.

I know that there will come a time,
for us to talk again.
Your friends and family know it’s true,
we just do not know when.

You are asleep, so you will wake,
and we’ll all be on the mend.
Till then, all I can say:
Goodbye my friend.
