Tribute to a Friend

Recently, a dear Young Women leader and friend of mine will be leaving us soon as she painfully fights cancer. This is a poem I wrote in tribute of her. I wish all the best for her wonderful family!

A Tribute to a Friend

It doesn't seem quite right

Sending notes at the end,

When a whole lifetime of joys

Were filled by a friend.

Giving to sorrow is

Not the best way to go,

So let's celebrate the smiles,

The good things we know.
Your lessons were flower'd

With Spiritual gems.

I loved your stories and paintings

From which all good stems.

Your home was a picture

Of serenity and love;

There I knew were angels

Looking down from above.

Your genuine care for

And concern for the one

Was always apparent

Despite what may come.

And to add a little humor

I must add this . . .

It was fun plotting with you

For my first love's kiss!

But deepest, and truest

Of my feelings for you,

Are those that have strengthened

My testimony, too.

Of a Savior who is loving,

Giving and kind.

A Redeemer who has
All of His Children in mind

When he says, "All Who Labour

Come Unto Me."

I know that you will,

And your loved ones will see.
