You my friend and brother, I see you often
But there seems never time for talking
But I remember the words you have spoken
They will never be forgotten
As they have been planted in my heart
From God, that’s where they came from the start…

As you travel down here in this life
You always try with all your might
You soar high as the eagles
When they are in their flight
You also are one of those
Who has a zeal in life
A vision beyond which others can’t see
Not a follower but a disciple indeed…

All the worry, work and toiling
Up the hills and through the valleys
You’ll never regret a mile
You have traveled for our Lord
For one day soon you’ll receive
Your great reward…
