a little somethin'

needed
the thoughts ramblings of kayla price

everyone has a longing
something to strive for each day
for some it's money, fame, and cars
for me, i fought and needed him to stay

i don't begin to doubt

the wonderful plan for us

god knows what's best; he knows all

and for that reason, i try not to fuss

but you see, he is needed

by friends and family so dear

yet god found room for another angel

so off josh went- a january day so clear

along the way, i've pretended to be happy

i've pretended to be okay

but things would be a lot different now

if god allowed him to stay

i wonder what it's like where he is

there's so much i don't understand

21 years of age, that's all

yet he went obediently after god's command

there's still so much work to be done

the gospel of christ rolls ahead

and i stand on earth so proud

my brother is helping it spread

he speaks a language too difficult for most

and thailand is where he left his heart

but without his body weighing him down

him and thailand never have to part

you see, my brother is needed

by people seen and unseen across this earthly sphere

it's not just me he saves

it's those he teaches about a gospel of cheer

his love for that gospel will carry him through

there are spirits that need to be taught

and though he misses us too, sometimes

his life will never come to naught

so i will hang my head a little higher

i can't afford to frown

my brother is needed, he needs me too

and i will not let him down

for josh. the best brother and missionary my being has ever known.
