Hope For The Best Prepare For The
Worst Hold me to
your bosom my God, I feel to cry Our dear
leader, confidant and friend, why did he die Prime
Ministers are not supposed to go like this, are they? Even
though others died, why did he have to pass away Farewell
dear friend you taught me One must
never put anything before family Rest
assure that I don’t but I feel like we are one Today they
buried you and it’s hard to believe you’re gone Hard to
let go of the memories we share Every year
we spent together while at Combermere But today
you left to go to God’s promised place Eternity
of life wearing a smile on your face Somehow I
know you are better off so I must let go This People
have been hearing of your many attributes Realizing
you were as comfortable with royalty as with grassroots Everyone
has seen the treasure we knew Pleased to
learn your friendships were all true And they
tried to compress your life in two eulogies Really
personal from Brian and Hartley, professional qualities Eulogies
are limited to time governed by organizers designs For us to
speak of your life we’ll need more than these lines Our words
can never summarize the magnitude of your heart Recall the
essence of the intensions you had from the start Tributes
were all great but they would need be Having to
describe individual perspectives truthfully Experiences
we all had with this loyal friend Were immeasurable,
and fully extend Over
years, age, creed and always too Race,
political affiliations, whatever he loved you So long
dear leader, confidant and friend Today we
say farewell but our memories shall never end |
Some people think it is a waste of time to prepapre for bad when you are aiming for only good things to happen, they think you have no faith. But we never know the outcome, we only have high hopes and expectations. God set the best in Adam and Eve, and prepared for the worst by having someone to redeem us when they fell. It's all a part of being ready, and David was ready.
