Two Old Friends Together Again
The gentleman stood by the golden gates, patiently watching in wait.
He walked from side to side, all the while, looking out the golden gate.
Suddenly smile crosses his face, as he sees his old friend coming his way.
Seeing his friend, after all this time, meant more than he could even say.
They had been friends on earth, for years and years, through good time and bad,
And he was the first to admit, there was no better friend that could ever be had.
They have a mutual respect that is so rare in the world, as we know it today.
With each trusting the other with his life at the end of the most trying day.
And for as precious as this friendship was when formed on the earth, long ago,
These two old friends will never have to say good-bye again, this they now know.
Heaven is now the home that they will share now and forever a day.
With an eternity of time, to enjoy this friendship, come what may!
