Notes About The Poem

Friend

Listen to a need, the sound bleeds
Through the past, the yearning
Silence falls heavy, gentle – it feeds
On the affection, passions burning

Will the heart listen, in giving – a gift
Serene like the silence, a light, hope
Abiding on the kindness, meant to lift
Grace, affection – feelings who cope

Neighbors, beggars, lost in the shadows
Darkness rising, yet there are fireflies
Glistening, reflecting love that arose
From the grave – so the spirit never dies

Will this peace He stirred, the grace
He brought to life when He came down
From the cross, reassuring He would erase
The fears and tears, rewarding a crown…

To those who listen to His compassion,
The affection that reminds us we are loved
Beyond doubts, despite the latest fashion
We are His children, the ones He calls beloved





John 15:13 (KJV) - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
