GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH YOU
A villanelle by Ruthie Madison
God has blessed me with you
when I prayed for a friend.
This is not a lie; it is so true .
We as friends do what friends do
Yet all the times he give, we did not spend
But God has blessed me with you
Through the years our friendship did grow
And through the years did it ever stand.
This is nota lie; it is so true .
Here is something else for you to know:
I believe that our friendship was God’s plan.
God indeed has blessed me with you.
Now I have to see my best friend go
Thousands of miles to another land
I still say God has blessed me with… you!
I Can not keep my tears to become like dew
Or do I not hope God one hour extend.
In any case, God has blessed me with you.
This is not a lie, my friend. This is so true .
