MY FRIEND

I have a friend who was a friend indeed,

He is always there should he you need.

His Christian attitudes are fully displayed,

He is a gentleman, and by God’s hand made.

My friend loves the outdoors, and soaks up the sun,

He loves to fish before day is done.

He works in his yard like a busy bee,

He pretties this up for all to see.

My friend was always studying God’s holy book,

He can quote you scripture without having to look.

He teaches us at an understandable level,

He shows us how to better handle the devil.

My friend was truly all of the above,

And for all of that, we extend him our love.

But right now my friend is so sick in his bed,

His face from his fever is roughishly red.

My friend needs our prayers ever so much,

And that God’s hand will lovingly, his body touch.

We pray this will be just like a moment in time,

And that soon, my friend will be ever so fine.

We do not know what the future will hold,

God blends our lives with the good and the bold.

Right now we pray that his body will heal,

It is like we’re praying for him “on appeal”.

We keep close watch on his progress each day,

And hope he is soon in his usual way.

So dear Lord please keep him in your loving arms,

That his life will continue with his usual charm.

Written for a very sick Friend
