Goodbye poem

Here is where the road divides
Here is where we realize
The sculpting of the Father's great design
Through time you've been a friend to me
But time is now the enemy
I wish we didn't have to say goodbye
But I know the road He chose for me
Is not the road He chose for you
So as we chase the dreams we're after

CHORUS:
Pray for me and I'll pray for you
Pray that we will keep the common ground
Won't you pray for me and I'll pray for you
And one day love will bring us back around again

Painted on a tapestry
We see the way it has to be
Weaving through the laughter and the tears
But love will be the tie that binds us
To the time we leave behind us
Memories will be our souvenirs
And I know that through it all
The hardest part of love is letting go
But there's a greater love that holds us

CHORUS

I know love will bring us back around again

Label: Reunion

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile(sp?) soil of you
I can't believe the hopes He's granted
Mean the chapter in you life is through

BRIDGE:
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seen you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

CHORUS:
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

And with the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show

BRIDGE

CHORUS(2x)

Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

you've got mail (flashing envelope above ^^^)

some people come into our lives and walk with us a mile
But then because of circumstance can only stay a while
God only knows the reason why we meet and share a smile
Why people come into our lives and walk with us a mile

oh oh oh.....I love that MWS song! it has some special meaning for me...

Also another great one, more for Friends, is the song "Friends" by Michael W. Smith (MWS) as well.

Friends

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes he's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

CHORUS:
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "Never"
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

I LOVE BOTH THOSE SONGS!! I won't both to go looking - hoping one of these will work for Sarah!
