What if your friend dies unsaved?

We meet with many people and make many friends in life. We share the gospel
with some and give others a miss, esp those we are afraid to offend. The
following may change your attitude:

My friend, I stand in judgment now...
And feel that you're to blame somehow.
While on earth I walked with you day by day.
And never did you point the way.

You knew the Lord in truth and glory
But never did you ever tell the story.
My knowledge then was very dim.
You could have led me safe to him.

Though we lived together here on earth,
you never told me of your second birth.
And now I stand this day condemned...
Because you failed to mention him.

You taught me many things, that's true.
I called you friend and trusted you.
But I learned... now that it's too late...
You could have kept me from this fate.

We walked by day and talked by night,
And yet you showed me not the light.
And you let me live, and die, and all
The while you knew I'd never live on high.

Yes I called you friend in life
And I trusted you in joy and strife...
And yet in coming to this end,
I see you really weren't my friend.
