Best Friend

When hope is gone, and light doeth fade

And beauty tis’ hard to see

And match and flint cannot prevail

His faith begins to flee

The darkness has enveloped him

And creeps into his heart

His memories of a life once lived

Begin to drift apart

And just before all breath is gone

He feels a hand reach in

And pulls him up into the light

And gives him strength within

He sees a face of glories light

Her hair is long and white

She smells like warmth of heaven’s glow

And gives him strength and sight

The face he sees he’s seen before

But memory is gone away

He wants so bad to remember her

And hopes that she will stay

Her life gives strength and hope to him

And he begins to live again

And remembers all of the love he’s had

She’d given, his best friend
