~The Friend~
  

The friend knows...
we were, before time began
we will be, till eternity ends
an infinite time my friend

The friend came...
to console your shattered soul
to bottle your tears
to take away your fears

The friend gives...
mercy to broken souls
grace to show his love
pardon for all time

The friend is...
the great I Am
the Alpha and the Omega
the beginning and the end

The friend is...

Deb,

What a beautiful reminder of our ultimate friend and Savior.  Lovely.

Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.
