GOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIEND

The time has come for you to take
a journey of your own,
And I must see through all my tears
that God has called you home.
Through sadness fills my heart today
and many days to come,
I know that you are now at rest
in God's eternal love.
You were to me much more than
friend of any human kind,
The joy and happiness we shared
was more than most will find.
A special place within my heart
for you will always be,
A place of joy and love for you,
in sweet fond memory,
Perhaps that place within my heart
that is for you today,
Will one day grow to fill my heart
and take my grief away.
