Today is November 2, or what the ‘world’ celebrates as the All Souls’ Day. Take time to remember your ‘living’ friends and neighbors.

You Forgot My Soul!
You lived next door to me for years,
We shared our dreams, our joys, our tears
A friend you were to me indeed
A friend who helped me in my need.
My faith in you was strong and true
We had such trust as would endure
No spats between us ever rose
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 second birth
You never spoke of my soul
And of the Christ who’d make me whole.
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 bonds to free.
But do not err, my friend, again
Do all you can for souls of men
Plead with them now quite earnestly
Lest they be cast in hell with me.
