Christ, Our Friend
By Me =)
Friendships are desired and valued by all.
Companionship, a highly common call,
Bids us all respond. We do so, wishing
To share, to laugh, to love; but still missing
The greatest Friend and companion of all.
Then these friends walk away, leaving behind
Our broken heart, which yet yearns to find
Someone who’s loyal, who listens, who loves.
Failing to find that one, we look above
Blaming God, because He our lives designed.
Yet this God feels our pain and sorrow,
He sent One to be in each tomorrow
We face—to care, to help, to guide—this Friend
Is Christ, Who to our lonely heart will send
Great satisfaction which knows no sorrow
With this new Friend, great heights of joy we reach.
We learn so much from all He has to teach.
Christ is the answer; He fulfills our needs.
In our time spent alone with Him, He leads
Us, others searching for this Friend, to reach.
Now that others have found this Friend so true,
With them we begin relationships new
Because Christ is our precious Bond of Love.
He sends peace to our hearts straight from above.
You see, because of Him our friendship grew.

Yet another wonderful kreation by my wonderful friend! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for being one of my most valued friends. I have idea...get a book together and I'll be your editor!!!! ha ha ha
I do value the friends in my life. I realize that life is frail and friends can be gone in a moments time. So with Jesus as my best friend I have learned and am still learning to really appreciate friends.
What a wonderful poem. Even when everyone else appears to be gone, Christ is still there wanting our friendship more than we long for our "absent" friends.
Thanks for sharing your heart with us.
