A Child’s Friend Karen Torbiak 2000 The sun is warm the fields all decked out in green As a small child takes joy from all beauty seen She runs fast through the fields taking joy in living Rolling down hills of grass fills her heart with thanksgiving Laying on her back watching fluffy white clouds go by There is nothing in her life right now to make her cry She is six years old and filled with love of life Too soon as day draws closed her life will fill with strife In her joy she has forgotten this is the end of the week Soon it will be time for safety this child will seek She skips home, full of life as the dinner hour draws near Slowing her steps as little heart remembers what she has to fear Already she can hear the cries, and turning she flees to block the screams Running her heart cries that this is not the way it is in dreams Deep into the forest to the arms of her friend she flies Where with her heart upon HIS chest HE will soothe her as she cries This friend of hers who no one seems to know Does to this little child great love show HE holds her close and whispers love divine with nothing for him to gain She knows within her deepest soul that HE understands her pain HE tells her that just for a little while she will suffer still Learning love divine that she may do the Father’s will She draws strength and love from HIM to carry on Looking deep into HIS eyes she nods and is gone Returning home she wonders at all HE has revealed to her And wonders yet again who hurt HIS hands but she is not sure Deep within her heart she knows HE is love Given to a child whose prayers have reached above http://www.geocities.com/karenltorbiak/index.html Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://path2riches.com |

Wonderful verse and yes, God's love is the only love that truely we can count on. Really loved this piece and the emotions of it bounce you back and forth in much reality. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |
