The Unforgotten

At times in life as we struggle along, We wonder why? The hard times we're seeing. And in our heart's we're singing no song, Perhaps questioning our reason for being? But then God puts us in someone's way, Someone strange to us at the time. But presence alone can't brighten our day, Nor does it cause head bells to chime. Perhaps we sought a chance for our needs, And a friendship was born out of this. Sometimes one is knowingly planting seeds, Seeds of trust, God's love and true bliss. Then a diverse path by one may be chosen, And days become prolated into years. But memories cause time to seem frozen, And we're burdened and awash with tears. But God knows about our slippery slope, Also, has appointed time and season for all. And at such time when we grasp little hope, Our prayers are answered in a letter or call. We will always love and appreciate you S.
