A Friend At Rest Poem by nyna bankard

God is my savior, God is my king
Early at dawn when the church bells ring.
An acquaintance, a friend, has gone far away
High above the clouds is where his soul will stay.
Although his spirit still lingers as if he were never gone
We bow our heads in silence and listen to his song.
A boy who had so much going in life
Now that he’s gone, his family and friends live in strife.
So sad to see someone we know so well leave
But deep in our hearts we have to believe.
There’s a reason why his soul was put to rest.
And it’s because God wanted to prove to us, He only takes the best.
