Please don't sing sad songs for me
Forget your grief and fears
For I am in a perfect place
away from pain and tears.
I'm far away from hunger
and hurt and want and pride
I have a place in Heaven
With my master at my side
My life on earth is very good
as earthly life can go,
But paradise is so much more
than anyone can know.
My heart is filled with happiness
and sweet rejoicing too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
a joy forever new.
Love bears all things; believes all things;
hopes all things; endures all things.

The Bible:  1 Corinthian
Friendship is like the breeze
You can't hold it, smell it, taste it
or know when it's coming.

But you can always feel it
and you'll always know it's there
It may come, then go
But you know it will always be back.
Love comforteth like sunshine after the rain.

William Shakespeare
Friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought or sold
But it's value is far greater than a mountain made of gold
For gold is cold and lifeless; it can neither hear or see
and in times of trouble, it is powerless to cheer -
it has no ears to listen, nor heart to understand
It cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand.
So when you ask God for a gift, be thankful if He sends
not diamonds, pearls or riches, but the love of
real true friends.
