The Friend

What pain do you feel my Friend, the pain of love or lost regret? How do you feel when I do not obey? the loss of a friend or a soul today. I feel as though my life’s astray, the pain the anguish of another day. My minds confused, feeling alone leave me be! I say to you; my hearts been torn in two. You smile, You love, and You always stay! Why I ask; do You love me today? You were mocked, beaten, and betrayed and yet no anger flows from your face. What is it I shall do, to feel no pain and live through You. My heart bleeds “take me instead”! For he is my son falsely condemned. Oh my Friend, take me tonight show me the way to the light. Take this pain within my heart; show me we are not apart. Only You my Friend, have the power to mend. I pray to You, my Merciful Friend, take his will and give him Your hand. For me I know it will be alright, the love from another keeps me strong through the fight. I pray to you; Friend of mine Bless my family and his mother of mine.
