PHILEMON WAS AND STILL IS: MY FRIEND IN A MILLION!
PHILEMON WAS AND STILL IS:
MY FRIEND IN A MILLION!
While sitting this one evening watching TV and minding my
business: taking it easy, after all: I’ve been very busy writing about so many
different subjects. Sometimes, I feel somewhat guilty after pushing my body and
mind to the limit but in a way: it’s just the way God has made my life to be. I
struggle to stay calm and shut-off my brain: I felt my spirit moving and
reminding me of My Late Friend whom I loved with all my soul and mind. The two
of us were like David and Jonathan: our hearts blended like tea and milk!
Philemon Was And Still Is: My Friend In A Million! Though
many years have passed between us since My Dear Friend took leave to his early
grave: my heart hasn’t forgotten him. Philemon Was And Still Is: My Friend In A
Million. I miss him dearly!
In my whole life, I have less than a handful people I’ve
considered as my friends due to lack of close proximity and soulful connection.
I do not stand aloof nor shun other people but always do my best to reach out to
each person God brings into my life. Perhaps, I failed to connect or consider
some as close friends due to their preferred class which turned me off and so,
I walked away. I am not the one given to beg friendship or to be loved by some
mortals who have their heads stuck in the clouds: I can’t reach them. Philemon
wasn’t like that: he was my friend indeed!
Philemon and I had a lot in common; we shared each other’s
problems: when my car broke down, Philemon lent me his car to be able to go to
work. Our friendship and bonds were stronger than the Siamese Twins: nothing in
the World could separate us except death. One day I was told that my friend was
sick in the hospital and before I could even visit him: Philemon suddenly
passed away and left me with these tears which have lasted a lifetime. Only God
knows just how much I miss my Dear Friend. His passing broke my heart into a
thousand pieces so much so, I couldn’t even find his address and got lost while
trying to attend his funeral.
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and
there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Philemon was closer to
me than life itself, I have so many signposts which remind me of his kind-heartedness
and warm smile which always assured me: it’ll be alright Sydney, I am here now!
Philemon Was And Still Is: My Friend In A Million! Though
many years have passed between us since My Dear Friend took leave to his early
grave: my heart hasn’t forgotten him. Philemon Was And Still Is: My Friend In A
Million. I miss him dearly!
Though now resting comfortably on the bosom of Father
Abraham one day, just one day: we’ll meet again in God’s Presence. Philemon in my
heart and Philemon in Heaven!
REST IN PEACE AND IN POWER: MY DEAR PHILEMON....JOY COMES IN THE MORNING!
