Once In Awhile

Once in awhile
Two lives will meet
There is a reason for this
Though we may not know why
In time we'll know what was not to be missed.

I bless the moment she came my way
She's been a rock to me
My escape, my dearest friend, she means everything
A friend is meant to be.

Once in awhile
An angel of God walks upon this earth
Being the type of friend
More than what anything else is worth.

I'd shout it from the mountaintops
To make one understand
When God sends you an angel
You'll hold no better hand.

Once that special person's time comes to be leaving
Grieving, I will do plenty
But one thing I will keep with me
Is her faith in believing.

Once in awhile
Two lives meet
There was a reason for this
I thank the Lord for blessing me so
For our pathways are filled with Heavenly bliss

In memory of my neighbor, my best friend Dottie, who left this world for greener pastures September 2011 - she has earned her wings..........
