A Long-ish Greeting

How do I confess?
'Tis too numerous to detail
The memories still hold sway
The choicest now to regale:

To the Soul that captivated
Ere the voice could enthrall
L' Amour was the beginning
Your testimony had us all

Days, weeks, months went on
And not a word
For how could I know
Of greater things yet to be heard?

Masterful indeed
You were in your field
Wide eyed in wonder
My reservation I did yield

An acquaintance you were
Ere God could reveal
That through Signature would grow our friendship
Not a smile would HE conceal

Your insistence to listen
To Vocal Point's rendition
Of 'O Danny Boy' at Nationals
In a windy yet peaceful condition

Sparked a new interest
In you, I should say
Nothing short of momentous
The whole journey I did pray

That God bless me more
Of lessons from you
And as time went on
The camaraderie, it grew

I thought not of it then
But as I pause to reflect
Grateful am I
That your presence did deflect

All worry, fear and doubt
From my mind
That you took all circumstances
In every stride

For your accompaniment to 'Our Father'
At Woodrock and L' Amour
Deeply honored am I
That you played, skillful and sure

Not having thanked you then
I so painfully regret
Your passion for harmony
I can never forget

CCD moments
And along came J.A.K
Times spent bunking classes
So that we could stack

On Ideas and the brainwave
The Writer's Tongue, it conceived
One look and with ease did you form
The tunes that now echo the words, "I Believe"

How came you into my life?
Not a thought nor a splash did your entrance make
But amazed am I at how God had it all planned
That our paths should cross
Trailing anecdotes at its wake

"What is the purpose of life?!"
I fondly hear you say
Your dream vacation to Switzerland
You'll have to wait for that day

I wish you all happiness
And blessings from above
That YESHUA HA-MASHIACH
Shower you with HIS Love

My thanks to you
Never will they end
For I know that you are
A True Friend!
