ONE LAST TIME

Gathering here for one last time.
Of laughing, singing just like before.
Remembering when we had so much time
Enjoying life and friends once more.

We could not stop the seasons passing
As we held tight to days gone by
Filled with new friends and tender feelings
We loved and laughed and we did cry.

We knew that seasons always end
We felt the change yet carried on
Having to say goodbye to friends
We grieved the day that you’d be gone

Through all those times both good and bad
We stood tall for those in need
Always strong for the friends we had
Were we those friends in dire need?

The day has come for you to leave
To that place that you did know
To begin a journey where you will weave
New and old memories as you grow.

So as you fly along life’s winding road
Making new memories and new friends
Do not forget the path once rode
When your road at last does end.




Forever your friend

Have you ever seen the sun,
Shining high up in the sky
Shining when there wasn’t one
And didn’t know the reason why?

Could it be because my dear
That I did no longer fear
That I would have no one to hold
As the darkness took it’s hold

Always sleeping alone each night
Fearing another sleepless night.
Never knowing love again
Destined for a life of pain

You took me from that life of fear
And wiped away all my tears
You broke the chain that held me tight
Trying hard to make it right.

With all my walls and fears abound
You found the way to walk around
Those walls I built to keep me safe
And took me to a different place

Now I know the reason why
I see the sun up in the sky
It’s your love that’s shining bright
Showering me with it’s bright light
