Friends I never met
There are three people in this world I wish I could’ve met, but in leaving it to God, He thought, it isn’t quite time just yet.
But, I know, one day will come , being part of His great plan, I will meet these special human beings, They are Russell, Randy, and Diane.
A picture is all I know them by, of memories I am without . How beautiful they must’ve been, of this I have no doubt.
They were so small when God took them and brought them to his side. What wonderful people I’m sure they became with our Lord as their only guide.
I knew them not here on earth, how I wish that could’ve been. Some say they might be strangers, I prefer to call them friends.
Your loving sister, Jodi
