Oh, we all need a Friend
who will comfort us
unconditional
safe and secure..

Who sees the pain
in our heart
And relates
to despair
Who knows
...and that knowing
is real...

The gaze in His eyes
is not a
glazed over look,
an empty
nodding of the head...

Rather....
a deep well
understanding
your grief, sorrow, pain
your aloneness
and cries of despair...

Seek Him out
everyday
drink deep from His well
no
worthless
impostor
is He..

He's no mind
numbing prozac
stealing  
your
life....

As you're
walking with Him
He's holding your  hand...
Each day
....baby steps
become real...

His reality is
new life
hope
and  breath

Ask
for eyesight
to see
the hope
that He offers
And the price
it is right
it is free....
