Standing

I feel like since Facebook, I’ve been living in the past Seeking old friendships that I once thought would last. But I noticed with some, whom I fortunately found With each passing day, those friendships lost ground. Although as a friend they generally accept Yet with one another, we seldom connect! So why have I, continued to search? Is it to find a friend, or my heart to birch? Is it because I’m trying to find my way? So I keep looking back, to that good ole day? Maybe for me, it’s just really hard to part I don’t know, that’s my shot in the dark! King Solomon warned us: he said it’s not wise To question the former; because today is the prize! So I think I will change this silly approach Wear the friends that I have, like a diamond filled broach! And if by some divine intervention Paths cross again, I will pay close attention! But until that day, I will press towards my calling And thank my Lord Jesus that I’m standing not falling! Stacey Brown 3-5-14
