Greetings! Let me introduce myself....I am a middle-aged (whatever that means now!),mother of 5 and married to a wonderful man. I love to write and sing about the wonderful things that God has done and is doing for us, His children.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song about a co-worker of mine who passed away last spring. I regret missing opportunities to witness to her.
Lyrics
Doreen- Verse 1: Workin' by your side, oh my friend Doreen Talkin' 'bout the weather and things in-between Just idle chatter ot pass the time Never talkin' 'bout this faith of mine No mention of God or His unfailing love I didn't share my hope of a heaven above I did say a prayer for you most every day But when it came to Jesus - I had no words to say Chorus: Doreen, my friend, I really do miss you I miss your laugh and the things that you'd do When I get to heaven I hope that you'll be there I wish I'd been a better friend - while you were here Verse 2: When your mother passed away, I had no words to give You seemed to lose your joy and your will to live And when you got sick you didn't seem to care One day you were with us and the next you weren't there My friend, Doreen, now you've gone away So many times I've wished for just one more day To tell you that the Lord came to die for your sins To tell you He loves you - and wants you with Him Chorus Verse 3: I can never go back to days gone by Why didn't I speak, Why oh why? I'm sorry my friend, that I didn't share I was too shy, and I was too scared I can only hope that someone planted the seed That they saw the truth, that they saw your need I should have been the one, that much is clear I wish I'd been a better friend - while you were here Chorus Tag: I wish I'd been a better friend - while you were here
