A Stroll...With a Friend

Isn't it good to have a 'Friend' to whom you can pour out your soul to? All those little things that you just wouldn't tell anyone else...you can tell them with confidence...without fear of being chided or judged...and can always come away with some solid, good, honest advice. Really...isn't it just great...?
Pressing on!


Poem Artwork

 

I remember... 

that there was a misty rain

as we walked...and talked 

What about...? Oh, you know... 

those things that one allows...to bother them 

those concerns...those balks 

I reminded Him... 

that many of my loved ones

have yet to accept Him...they're still unsaved  

...and one of them had left home 

on a path...which was confusion paved 

I let Him know

 I felt a little down about it...  

 there was this 'ache'...for this loved one 

who fled...following a rift 

I asked Him to help me... 

help me to trust Him...more... 

make me stronger 

love Him...better...deeper...to my core! 

I needed to be shown how to love Him... 

erase my doubts...'til there are none

I'd failed so often...felt I needed 

more victories won 

I guess in those moments... 

what I really craved...really wanted… 

was pampering...and I pleaded, 

Lord, not later...but now! 

'Cause it's Your words of 'comfort'

that I'm seeking...yes...please! 

That's what I need from You...a Word! 

And an answer came, like breeze upon a brow...

W A I T!  

Really, I had to smile 

for, we both knew...in this bend... 

I had a lot of growing to do, indeed, miles. 

A Stroll...with a Friend  

 

Is 40:28-31, Prvb 17:17 & 18:24

JMS...I could tell by your words of the tone you set, where your thoughts were when you wrote this..the heartache known as love/caring/for someone,feeling helpless is a hard pill to swallow..been there done that. So glad you found compassion on ur stroll with your Creator. Beautifully written..thanks for the sharing..kj

Too many people don't realize that He is their best friend. I found that in my time of need He was always there for me and I know in my heart He will always be there. Beautifully done.

Beautiful poem Joyce. I think all to often we want answers now and lose sight of patience. The Lord knew us before we were born and has everything worked out in his time. May God bless you every day of your life.

In His time ... sometimes we just haven't seen clearly that the prayers we think go unanswered are, in fact, answered and before our eyes, but perhaps not as we think they should be answered. Isn't it wonderful to stroll with a Friend and be able to share your heart and soul? A great reminder Joyce, well done, as always. Hugs, Elizabeth
