BEST FRIEND
COME SPEAK TO MY SON WHO IS YOUR VERY BEST FRIEND;
HE ACCEPTS ALL HE HEARS FROM THE WORDS THAT YOU SEND.
MY SON WAS YOUR FRIEND LONG BEFORE YOU WERE BORN,
AND HE WILL BE BESIDE YOU WHEN YOUR BODY IS WORN.
HE JOINED IN YOUR LAUGHTER, WIPED YOUR TEARS WHEN YOU CRIED;
HE SHARED IN YOUR SORROW AND HEARD EACH TIME YOU SIGHED.
WHEN YOU WERE MUCH YOUNGER, HE WATCHED AS YOU PLAYED;
AS YOU GREW IN THE SPIRIT, HE WAS PLEASED WHEN YOU PRAYED.
AS YOU OPENED YOUR GIFTS AT EACH SPECIAL EVENT,
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT GIFT THAT JESUS SENT?
THE GREATEST OF GIFTS THAT YOU HAD RECEIVED
WAS THE GIFT OF LIFE WHEN YOU FIRST WERE CONCEIVED.
HE RENEWED YOUR LIFE WHEN HE SACRIFICED HIS;
WHEN YOU SPEAK TO MY SON, REMEMBER ALL THIS.
REMEMBER YOUR FRIEND WHEN HE KNOCKS AT YOUR DOOR
FOR THERE IS NO OTHER THAT CAN LOVE YOU MORE.
“THY WILL BE DONE”
