When A Friend Bids Goodbye...

© Kathrine Yee Baraquia

My dear friend,

close your eyes...

hold my hand,

and hear me whisper...

For the times I was lost,

you were there to look for me.

Will you believe me when I say I love you more than you'll ever know.

Will you trust me when I say ...this time you have to let me go.

My dear friend, I must leave.

The world no longer needs me.

It's my time to be gone, until we meet again someday.

Don't you cry now, I know I'll be okay.

Trust that I'll never forget you.

Don't be sad now, just close your eyes until it's through.

Hold my hand, don't open your eyes yet...

wait when I no longer whisper..

My dear friend, you'll be fine.

I'll be up there watching over you.

For the times I'll be gone, don't ever forget

the words I whispered to you.

God calls on my name... and I have to let go of your hand now...

Please don't cry... and smile for me.. 

because I'm with the one who made us friends.

Remember, I'll always love you.

so come, wave me goodbye...

It'll be painful but we have to...

Hug me, hug me tight, feel the words I can no longer say.

My dear friend, I'm going to miss you.

just pray because I'll always listen.

and one day, when it's your time,

I'll be there for you...

Just like the way I used to.

...I love you...

(I mean, WE love and missed you, Kathryn.) 

RIP- Richard Allen Justice (We miss YOU!)

"Jesus Calls Us"

Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult

of our life's wild, restless sea,

day by day his clear voice soundeth,

saying, 'Christian, follow me;'

as, of old, Saint Andrew heart it

by the Galilean lake,

turned from home and toil and kindred,

leaving all for his dear sake.

Jesus calls us from the worship

of the vain world's golden store;

from each idol that would keep us,

saying, 'Christian, love me more.'

In our joys and in our sorrows,

days of toil and hours of ease,

still he calls, in cares and pleasures,

'Christian, love me more than these.'

Jesus calls us! By thy mercies,

Savior, may we hear thy call,

give our hearts to thine obedience,

serve and love thee best of all.
