My God, My Friend

There is a quiet place I go,
where love, like rivers, freely flows.
The peace I feel when I am there,
fills my Soul like silent prayer.

Sometimes standing in a line,
or wherever I happen to be,
I close my eyes and see my God,
my Friend, always there for me. 

My Friend is my companion,
and my guiding light.
And what a privilege it is
to meet Him in the night.

This quiet place where I go
is always there inside my Soul.
You, too, can find God waiting there
and talk to Him in silent prayer.

It is always a pleasure, Buck, to connect to another Christian poet here on the soup. Jesus tells us to "feed my sheep" and help to lead others to Eternal Life in Him. My ways are with poetry since I am quiet and pretty much a loner. But I hope the little I do is pleasing in His sight. ~~Darlene

Hello, Tiaua, So kind of you to take the time to comment on my poem. In truth, I would not want to live one second without my Friend. He guides, advises, protects, shares His love with me, and so much more. I pray He is your Friend and Savior, too. :)
