I wish that
I could take with me
All the friends I've ever known
And the first that I would choose
Would be my brethren, every one
All the
ones my life has touched
And those that have touched mine
And down the meadow we would walk
The peace would be supreme
The next
ones I would take would be
All the others that I know
Just to walk with them side by side
And to feel such togetherness
The sun's
so warm, the place so quiet
The grass and flowers beneath our feet
The love between us is so great
The understanding how complete
For all the
evils of life have been
Completely swept away
No more can they ever touch us
The pain, the grief, never more
We walk
peacefully side by side
Our souls and hearts touching one
I feel the meaning of the words,
"The greatest of these is love."
