My Long Lost Soul Poem by John Masaitis

You lived next door to me for years
We shared our joys our dreams our tears.
A friend to me you were indeed
A friend who helped me in my need.
My faith in you was strong and sure
We had such trust that should endure.
No spats between us err arose
Our friends' were like and so our foes'.

What sadness then my friend to find,
That after all you weren't so kind.
The day my life on Earth did end
I found you weren't a faithful friend.
For all those years we spent on Earth
You never talked of Jesus birth.
You never spoke of My Lost Soul
And of the Christ who'd make me whole.
I stood in front of Him in shame
My Christian friend you are to blame.
Your faith, no voice, now flames I share
My soul now lost please don't despair.

I plead today from Hell's cruel fire,
And tell you now my last desire.
You cannot do a thing for me
No words today my bond's to free.
But do not error my friend again,
Do all you can for soul's of men.
Tell ALL you know Christ died for thee
Lest they be cast in HELL with me!
