That good friendship seems to be over
My best friend is no longer there
We both made mistakes, and now it is gone
And I wonder...does she even care?
We were always going to be side by side
Yet somehow, we're now far apart
The future can never be what was dreamt
I'm now missing a piece of my heart.
It must be a part of God's Great Plan
His blueprint of why I am here
And though I don't want to question Him
It is all just so hard to bear.
I've faced many trials before this
Had to bury so much from my past
Parents, two brothers and many more
Always praying each one was my last
Now I'm faced with this new challenge
Letting go, when she is still here
I don't know how to do this
How to overcome the fear.
So I'm asking you today Lord
To give me whatever I need
To get over this new hurdle
My soul, I need to feed...
With the warm, soft light of Your mercy
With the goodness of Your love
With all the knowledge and wisdom
From His Majesty up above.
And I pray for her too, I know she's in pain
Lord she needs Your gentle touch
Please bring peace again to the life
Of this friend, I will always love so much.

BSC, I'm glad you joined us here! A sad poem, very well written. And much hope! You are headed in the right direction, that's for sure. To pray for her, that's wonderful!
God don't always take the pain from us, but we learn from it, how to be stronger. It's not always easy to go through these things, but we do make it through. You're certainly leaning on the right one! For God hears you!
You shall be in my prayers!

When you can't make up your mind
Which way is right for you,
Stop and softly ask yourself,
What Would Jesus Do?

You sure know the right places to go with your sadness, 1) to God in prayer 2) to write your feelings out so nicely 3) to share them here with sincere, caring, uplifting people.  May I remember your steps in my trials.  Thanks

What an expression of pain and how to work through it.  With God's help we can go on.
I really liked that you include her in your prayer.  You have a good heart.  Welcome and I look forward to more of your poetry. God Bless

Dear bsc; I was really moved by this poem, because I've had this experience too. I lost my dear friend when she couldn't understand the growth that I was experiencing. I could only trust that God knew what was best for me. It still hurt alot though. This is a beautifully written poem. Thank you.
