Thank you Joyce (JMS) for your beautiful words. Yes Jesus is our only true friend.
Love and blessings, and Happy New Year lovely lady.

WE USE THE TERM 'FRIEND' VERY LOOSELY THESE DAYS. TO FIND A TRUE FRIEND ON THIS EARTH IS A BLESSING. PEOPLE OFTEN MISTAKE ACQUAINTANCES FOR FRIENDS. A FRIEND IS SOMEONE WHO YOU KNOW IS GOING TO BE THERE WHEN EVERYONE ELSE HAS TURNED THEIR BACK ON YOU...WHEN EVERYONE ELSE HATES U...THEY STILL LOVE U. I ONLY KNOW ONE PERSON LIKE THIS AND HIS NAME IS JESUS. AT THIS POINT A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL SAY, 'GET REAL'! BUT JESUS 'IS' REAL AND HE'S MY FRIEND...THRU THICK AND THIN...UP AND DOWN, I CAN DEPEND ON HIM 'ALWAYS' BEING THERE FOR ME. SOMETIMES I'M RIGHT, BUT MOST TIMES...I'M WRONG. BUT MY FRIEND, JESUS, DOESN'T CARE. HE'S IN MY LIFE ALL THE WAY TO THE FINISH LINE...HE STILL LOVES ME AND HE STILL CARES. WHAT I'M SAYING IS...THE ONLY ONE THAT KNOWS ME IN THE CAPACITY TO WHICH THIS WORK RELATES IS GOD. AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IMAGINARY ABOUT GOD. YOU'VE READ MY POEM, 'YOU KNOW ME' AND I THINK IT 'SPEAKS' TO THIS WORK. AS FAR AS ME BEING INVISIBLE? THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I WISH I WAS BUT I NEVER FEEL LIKE IM INVISIBLE AND I GUESS THAT'S BECAUSE JESUS DOESN'T WANT ME TO FEEL INVISIBLE...WHY? 'CAUSE 'MY FRIEND' KNOWS THERE IS A BLESSING IN THE 'STEW'(SMILE). THANKS FOR POSTING THIS VERY THOUGHT-PROVOKING WORK. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS*INSPIRATIONS

I can truly relate to the sentiments and meaning expressed through your verses here, Ann. True friendship is a treasure. Your poem reminds me of one of mine that I have posted here titled, "Different." I appreciate what you have shaed here. Love and blessings and best wishes,

I feel invisible ALL THE TIME, some of my friends make me feel this way. Your poem speaks for me. Thank you!!

We could say that about most acquaintances. Real friends are rare and hard to come by. They usually have nothing to hide so we know a lot about them that is all good.

Cool, introspective write.

These questions would reveal much about another's aims if they were answered truthfully. Nicely put Ann. Peace...
