Years ago,

Who broke my heart

And let me go.

I tried to

Make her understand,

But she refused

And here I stand.

She didn’t want me

With a man,

I broke her heart

I didn’t understand.

We went everwhere

Her and I,

Our children too

She said I left for a guy.

She was so mean

We’re friends no more,

To pay me back

She closed her door.

I seen her

Passing in a car,

I waved to her

But she was too far.

I had to learn

To let go,

Daily crying

I loved her so.

Years went by

And prayed did I,

Daily for her

And I would cry.

Then one day

She called me,

She was dying

And I was free.

Free to see her

And hug her tight,

My dear friend

Died that night. (2004)

She was sorry

For being so mean,

She missed me

All now is forgiven.

All forgiven

All is right,

Up with Jesus

In His heavenly light.
