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
no
empty
impostor
is He..

He's no prozac
numbing consciousness
stealing  
life
away....

But reality is
new life
hope
and  breath

As you
walk with Him
He'll hold your right hand...
Each day
....baby steps
become real...

Ask
for eyesight
to see
the hope
that He offers

And the price
it is right
it is free....
