A very good friend of ours passed away last week. Although we don’t mourn for him, yet he has left a very big hole behind, and his family will miss him very much. He was very much ready to go, having made his peace with his Maker many years ago.  I am sure he would be saying to us, the words of this following poem right now….

Do not Mourn!

I do not know the way I’ll go, If short and fast, or pain so slow, I pray the Lord will help me bear, Whate’er He plans for me while there; And when I’ve gone, I do not need, A fanfare of my work or deed; All I say is simply this, I’m with the Lord in heaven’s bliss. And so my friend, no need to mourn, Or feel bereft or all forlorn, For I’ve had fun, enjoyed it all; And now I’ve heard my Lord’s sweet call. I’m more alive than e’er before, Enjoying life NOW, more and more! For those  today, who hear this now, I ask, have you before Him ever bowed? For if you have, I’ll see you when, Your turn comes, as to all men; Oh do not wait, but choose today, To follow God in all your ways!
