My Husband's Best Friend
He made his unique and special mark in this world
A journey through life that he alone could make.
And the pain of his loss reverberates
Like a heavy burden, and a deep well of sadness.
Only the mysterious Almighty knows why
this caring and kind man had to slip away.
Our hearts are seared and weakened with grief
A lovely widow is left behind in quiet sorrow.
Those bright, intelligent eyes, coupled with mischief
A ready smile, an ease with which he shared.
A great love story between him and his bride
And a deep faith and love for his Lord defined him.
Someday we will meet again on the other side
A glorious day, a new dawn, at the marriage supper of the Lamb.
For those he has left behind, there is a wanting, a deep loss
Yet hope and greater joy await us when we shall meet again
Forevermore.
