This is a poem that a friend of mine shared with me. It's a poem about her "desire" to share Jesus with a close friend and how her procrastination left her with the most important unanswered question of all...
"Where did her friend go when he died?"
Why did she not know? She never 'got around' to sharing her faith?"
Tomorrow?
You walked into my life, on a warm summer day
A close kinship almost instant, funny that way
Who knew how many years of summers we would share
The smell of charcoal, sounds of kids playing, fireworks in the air
By the way, I have a friend Id like you to know
But its getting late and soon will be time to go
Tomorrow Ill introduce you to my wonderful Savior
Todays almost gone, well have some more time later
The leaves have all changed to pretty autumn scenes
Crisp mornings and cold evenings call for warm chili beans
Haunted trails and hayrides, childrens laughter and silly screams
Cozy evenings watching movies and talk of future dreams
By the way, I have a friend Id like you to know
But its getting late and soon will be time to go
Tomorrow Ill introduce you to my wonderful Savior
Todays almost gone, well have some more time later
The winters come and white snow blankets the ground
Santas coming soon, the children run round and round
Close friends, love, laughter, and hugs
Twinkling lights and presents and steaming coffee mugs
By the way, I have a friend Id like you to know
Its His birthday soon, Im going to His party, would you like to go?
Its a busy time, Im sure youre tired, its okay though
Tomorrow Ill introduce you to my Savior, todays almost gone well have more time later
The birds start singing their happy song and the grass turns to pretty green
New life abundant all around, a beautiful spring scene
Lets get together my old pal, weve been closed up way to long
Lets get out, enjoy the weather, hear natures pretty song
What happened friend? Where did you go?
Lord, I miss my friend so much
A split second changed our lives
Whoever dreamed of such?
I have a wonderful friend, I wanted him to meet
All I can do is hope and pray that hes sitting at my Saviors feet
You see he told me of a time when he was born again
I didnt question or talk to much, I didnt want to offend
Id like to tell you everyone
Dont put off things needed to be done
Seasons come and seasons go
And in an instant the wind can blow
Oh Lord I pray one day Ill be sitting at your feet
I pray my friend will be sitting next to you, I pray again well meet
I had every chance to talk of you and share your holy name
Forgive me God, Forgive me friend, tomorrow never came
