A friend (for Maureen)

"I am a friend to all who fear you, to all who follow your precepts."
NIV Psalms 119:63

Only one soul that I need to the end
And that is someone to be my dear friend
Someone who listens to all that I say
And lets me believe it always my way.

A loving soft shoulder that's always there
With a big open hankie, tears to share
A smile when I need it a laughing one
Someone who thinks that my joking is fun.

And when I am busy and forget to phone
Someone who misses me when I'm all alone
But gives me freedom to go on my way
Waits patiently there wherever I say.

Just in case I need a little support
Will always dock a ship into my port
And carry me along life's crooked road
In joyful dance wherever I may to go.

A friend who does not need to be my mate
But loves and carries me to heaven's gate.

A friend.

May I be your friend with love for you as above?

Dear newell,
It must be friendship night, this is the second great post I've read about needing a friend, and how much they help living.

Yes, Nan, I think that friends are God's very special gifts to us. Friends just fill in all of the gaps and needs that every other relationship leaves. And I always love being a friend. It is always a very special privledge.

How Can One Refuse

As each day comes I promise myself
I don't wish to make new friends.
Those I have are dear to me
and protect me to the end.
Of honesty, the trait indeed
the one that means so much
and secondly unconditionally
my friends are these, in touch.
I love them for their comfort of heart
which in return, I share.
So yes, you are a friend in new.
My hands outstretched in care.


Thanks  Newell...
not a great poem in return as the morning brings with it a bit of tiredness today.

Karen, thank you so very much for your loving thoughts. Yes, my spirit does reach out to all spirits who seek me, and I want to extend my love to each and every soul that has an unmet need for love. And Christ is in me with the full power of God so I have plenty of extra love to trade for pain. To anyone who asks me I will always share this love inside of me, spiritually, in any way any soul desires: Friend, father, brother, son, husband, or lover. I believe that all love comes from God, and so I receive bundles of it and pass it on in whatever template a person needs. I believe this is what Christ, God's Son, His Spirit of Love teaches. And I am just a little student, loving God with all my heart, mind and soul. I do care. And, Karen, I think you know how special my love is for you. I feel that we have known each other over centuries and perhaps galaxies. You are very, very special to me. Thank you again for your loving thoughts.

((Karen))
