Lyric of the Week - Times Like These

Here are some words I wrote this past week following the passing of Grandpa O. They could use some music.

Do your thing, Paul.

Time waits for no one
As it swiftly passes by
Moments & memories
Holding on we will try
In times like these
Our faith is put to the test
In times like these
When Earth loses on of its best

In times like these
We must rely on each other
Gaining strength by leaning
On father, sister, mother, brother

In times like these we try
But words fail to express
Our feelings of doubt, heartache, 
Of pain, loss, & loneliness

But if we are faithful
Have love for our lost friend
In time we will re-unite
Be together in the end

Title: Times Like These (2011)

*update*
Here's a rough-cut of these words put to music by my good friend Paul Timothy.

  1. Thanks for your heartfelt poem, Pres. I like the music, too. I loved when Grandma commented to someone wishing her condolences about losing her husband. She said, "He's not lost, I know exactly where he is!" I do too
