I' M Still Here-I'M a Friend

Though darkness falls and clouds hangs low,
Though trouble speeds toward you where ever you go,
I'm still here!

Loved ones are dying,
Leaders always lying,
Wealth and reaches are rear
Communities don't seem to care,
I'm still here!

I'm here because of divine of appointment,
I'm to love, to cry, to give, to testify
Here to shine a light in a cold and dreary peace,
Here to share a smile with another scared and hurt face.
I'm here to show there is always hope.
Here to laugh with you, cry with you, help you to cope.
Yes, I'm still here and will endure to the end, 
I'm still here...  I will always be.......I AM A FRIEND!!!!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
