The young man felt compelled to watch the video once more
Sixty friends gathered in love and gazing upwards as
pink balloons floated lazily toward heaven
Joe….like an overzealous college cheerleader
began leading chants of Hakuna…….Matata
Hakuna……Matata!!
A tear rolled slowly down the cheek of the young man
as he felt again the love…..and the power that…..
like a magnet…..had drawn these tennis friends together
That day will live in their hearts forever,
That day, when they were blessed to witness courage,
and grace, and a fortitude they could barely imagine
Most would say they felt the hand of God that special day
Hearts full to overflowing as Bonnie took the microphone to speak
So bravely did she summon the strength to thank her friends for
the love and support
The young man was watching this unfold when words appeared in his mind
Thank you, Bonnie Suter
Thanks to you, dear friend, for showing us all
the magnificence of the human spirit
Thank you, special one, for proving that God is alive
and well in each of us
Surely, He has welcomed you home with the words
‘Well done, My dearest Bonnie,
Hakuna Matata…..No Worries.’
