The Sorrow of a Friend

I wept to see the morning mist

And when the day was through.

But all my tears fell unremarked,

For I was without you.

You were right here for all those years,

Now suddenly you’re gone.

God called your name, you turned to him

And I must carry on.

The rain and mist fill up my heart

And wash a dreary sky.

I’m grateful that you were my heart,

I weep at this good-bye.

Oh Lord, please guard my precious heart,

As he rests in your care,

And I will weep within the mist

Until I join him there.

Psalm 31:9
Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief.
