Notes About The Poem

True love and friendship are never lost. They are only interrupted

Lord I Kneel Before You

Lord I Kneel Before You
By Franklin Price

Lord I kneel before you
Knowing you have blessed my life
Gave me over half a century
With the soul mate of my life

You brought our lives together
In the middle of a mess
I heard your voice within me
“If you marry, God will bless”

With all your love and wisdom
You provided ties that bind
Gave us love in life we needed
Thank you God, you were so kind

We shared each and every day
All the straight roads and the bends
Lived life by the Golden Rule 
Seldom had to make amends

When those rare times happened
You always helped to get us through
Helped us choose our actions wisely
Again, my Lord, I'm thanking you

You chose this year to take her
To be with You in Glory Land
Her love is still here with me
Though I no longer hold her hand

You took away her stress and strife
Removed all her daily pain
You raised her up to Heaven
Where I'll see her once again

Until then Lord watch over me
Guide me on to make her proud
Let her know that I have no regrets
For those promises we vowed.

Thank you God
Amen
