God has the greatest Friendship skills

I'm not jealous of all His suffering
or His final Ascension hovering
I accept that I cannot cure on touch
or walk on water, or through walls and such

But I sometimes get the distinct feeling 
(when with people, or prayerfully kneeling)
That I wish I could get to know others--
(family, friends, neighbors, sisters and brothers)

--The way God does, completely, and loves still
(my befriending skills are sometimes at "nill")
"Love one another as I have loved you"
never really seems to come fully true :(

Wish we could talk longer than just a while
wish I knew their favorites, and why they smile
God gets to see them everywhere they go
people could hang out with God, if they know

You'd think maybe He never gets lonely
since God's Heart is all full of Love only
but He wants us to get to know Him, too
as much as He loves us first, through and through

to be continued...
