remember me

i shall not see your face
nor hear your voice,
nor feel your hand,
nor taste your kiss,
yet i know it is of an angel,
but you have gone home
much too soon.

will you recognize my voice
when you hear me speak
in the great halls
of His kingdom?

will you remember how much
i loved you
before we even met?

hope is my only companion in this loneliness.
faith is my only shield from fear.
love is my only gift for you.

remember me, my baby.

- for a friend on this day of sadness
