A Friend in God

Will you be my friend, stick with me to the very end?
Will you accept me as I am, with no conditions it has to depend.
Will you not look at my past, and let it stay where it’s at.
Please can you do this, for friendship is all about that.

Sometimes a friend will be there for you day after day.
Sometimes this friendship will fade away.
The one and only friend who is true.
Is the friendship you have with God above

He died for our sins, so that we may live.
He let go of our past, and he did forgive.
In the bible it will tell you, how to get the gift of life.
How to pray about sickness, war, and strife.

The day will come that all knees will bow down to him.
And he will take us to heaven to bide within.
It is a promise we all know he will keep
And when this happens, tears of joy we will weep.

Choose your friends very carefully and with trust.
Because a honest friendship is definitely a must.
When in doubt about a person you will meet.
Ask for guidance from God, and he will keep you from defeat.

I would like to dedicate this to my husband Danny, who is my friend.

I just read your poem and it's beautiful. My husband is my very best friend in this world (for 36 years), but your poem made me think of my best girlfriend, and I can honestly say that she is a true friend. Your poem really made me think about my relationship with God too. I am so thankful to have Him in my life, as well. Of course He does come first over everything and everyone else. I still study my Bible and do everything I can to understand His word and to strengthen my relationship with Him. I didn't mean to write a story, but it's like your poem opened up the flood gates of my heart making me think about all that I have to be so thankful for in my life. I would love to read more of your poems. I noticed the other ladie's comment about this poem and realized you have more of them. God Bless you.
Another one of your wonderful and encouraging poems. Full of love and hope, I find your poem uplifting. keep sharing.
It feels good to write.
