His Hand

A hand
held out
to take mine.

There
whenever I
want it.

Nothing can
make Him leave.

Not even momentary
rejection.

Is it friendship?

I like to
think it’s
a Love
that was
created
since time
began.

For He was
here before I,
and He shall remain,

even after
people have
stopped reaching
out for Him.

I have not found any other unconditional love like the love of a parent and a child. That is what we are...His children. Very nice.

(oh, I think there's a typo..."snall"?)
