Reflections on a friend passing

Every now and then

Comes a reminder of our human frailty

That our days on earth are numbered

Even those who don’t believe in heaven

Know what we have now is not forever

What can I do?

But live a life worth living

And love my neighbour

Like Jesus said

Make the most of every opportunity

And remember that I am like grass

Like a flower that is beautiful in its time

Let me display the beauty that He has bestowed on me

And shine his glory brightly for all to see

That they would know it’s God I’m living for-

That they might know the God I’m living for…

And when my beauty fades,

Let me leave a legacy of love

Let all I do and say testify to His great love

To the glory of Him who lives forevermore
