I wrote this song for Dolph's memorial service
I Will Remember You
(in memory of Adolph W. Houde, Jr., Nov. 19, 1955 - May 5, 1996)
You were my friend
Through the days of our childhood
Sharing games and secrets from the start
Although wed grown
Far apart from each other
I loved you as a brother
You never left my heart
And now your journeys ended
The pain is gone
And too the fear that gripped you
For so long
I will remember you
In the flowers on the hill
I will grieve the loss of friendship
But your spirit will be still
In my memory
And when I look upon your face
The warmth is what I will recall
And what I will embrace
You chose a way
That I never would follow
And our paths would never cross again
But still I cared
Though you never had known it
I wish I could have shown it
Especially at the end
But now the journeys ended
This is my prayer
That you have found your peaceful rest
In His care
