A friends father died suddenly this past week, I wanted to write them a poem. |
-Father, Friend, The End- by Keaton Foster Father Friend The end Death Sadly Has come Just another step One beyond me One beyond us I’ll stay behind As you wait ahead In peace I know that you’ll rest In the presence of God I know that you’ll sleep No lesser the man Greater For having ever been Shinning Will be your light Just like your life All around you will smile All who knew you Those who went before Will again be close They’ll hug you well Confessing that they Have long since missed you But somehow knew That you were expected All of us who remain Will be even closer To you and each other We will feel you We will know you We won’t forget Death will do little To lessen the memories Of all that you meant Father Friend The end Nothing can change What has happened Presently little Can make it better But as it’s often said Time heals all wounds In that we all must Find a way to believe And for a time It will be all that we have Our saving grace In this new world Without you We’ll see you again I know it in my heart In my very soul All of us are here And you are there We’ll stay behind As you wait ahead But in the end We’ll see each other Again… Father, Friend, The End Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
