WINDS OF FREEDOM
�Seth Melendez |
|
In
the worst of times there can only be one,
Perseverance and diligence until the day is
done,
Trust in Him and all can be conquered. |
Alone we stand against life's greatest tide
When the waves hit and it's your darkest hour,
Trust in Him he'll stand at your side. |
In our times of hurt and pain we think how
cruel can he be
No way out of the hole you've dug
Trust in Him a mighty friend is he. |
All is forgiven no matter how far the lambs
may stray
Around the bend He waits for you
Trust in Him he gives his love everyday. |
Now comes the end to my story
Love yourself most of all
Because Love is God's greatest glory. |
This is dedicated to the memory of Joseph
Vasquez, a friend I
had the pleasure of knowing and the honor to
call him a boy. |
It wasn't the rosiest of friendships and at
times down right impossible to be around him.
I thank God for knowing him because as our
journey through life converged Joe taught me a
lot, good and bad, with these lessons I will
continue my
journey through life aware of the pitfall and
mistakes Joe conquered and those that
conquered him.
There by the grace of God goes us all. God
took from this earth a lost soul
and in that we should learn being boys mean
more that fighting, money, or women. It should
mean loving one another in spite of our
failures, trusting that no matter what past
indiscretion we might have done we still have
each other.
In the end a piece of us all died with Joe on
that Saturday, but we know it was God's will. |
| Bum
rush the door and keep Heavens gates open for
us Joe, see you on the other side TROOPER.
We
love you Joe
UNTIL SWORDS MEET AGAIN |
