WORDS FROM A FRIEND

I remember my friend
He loved his music
Said the “Beatles’” songs
Were worth taking a listen
Thought some could be
Church hymns – uplifting
He walked away smiling
His words has a glisten
There are many songs
By various artists
That would stand up in church
Without any protest
God gives the talent
Allows opposition
The beauty of the music
Takes its own position 
“Only You” by the “Platters”
Is solemn if you point upwards
“What a wonderful world”
Especially by Louis Armstrong
One who was never a quitter
“In the Garden” – a beautiful song
Written in a basement without windows
Moves the soul and spirit
Until the light leaves us in shadows
I remember my friend
He has passed on, but
His feeling for the Love of God
Remains in these known songs
