Earthly Friends and Divine FRIEND

More Than A Friend

I am your friend

on a beautiful journey

our friendship like a small vessel

carries us over the waves of our caring

our many roles to each other

reverse as the tides

kindred as

sibling - teacher - helper - parent - friend

but we know we are so very much more

precious pilgrimage of our hearts

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meeting A Friend

Days and weeks and years have passed

And you have become so dear

I wait and wait till we can meet

We do and I’m filled with cheer.

We laugh and play like little girls

And do what we desire

It’s so much fun to be with you

That is something I require.

But best of all is what I see

And feel whenever you’re around

Is how blessed I am to have a friend

In whom I see godliness abound

And I know that God has given me

A friend as great as you

To have and love and be free with

A gift of God so true.
