Ode To A Friend

John Mark Thomas


I cherish this fond memory 
It's a gorgeous picture in my mind 
Swinging in the hammock out back 
Just me and you, Sister 
Discussing our futures and what we will become 

I remember the stars out that night 
Filtering down through the beautiful oak trees 
But the light those stars provided 
Cannot compare to what shone from your eyes, Sister 
Oh how I love your eyes! 

They can pierce the darkest night 
They could conquer the whole world without a fight 
They harbor such great wisdom 
And they tear my world apart 

You're a sister aptly named 
My sister, Faith
