Poetry
'Friend!' No room for this word
It entangles every human relation cord
Turns foe or fiend proclaiming its 'lord'
Beware! Before it becomes a stabbing sword.
Confidence should I in a man entrust?
Whose dwelling is among moths and rust.
Fears and falters if faced with a heavy thrust
'Friend!' No room for it's a futile crust.
Should I in a man who breathe, believe?
My loneliness or pain can he relieve?
Like Job's comforters who could not retrieve
'Friend!' No room for it holds waste like a sieve
Damsel months turned dainty years
Sorrow sapped my soul along with fears
Finding none to wipe my tears
When bereft of hope, a voice heard my ears
"Friend! Have you no room? - Even for a 'True Friend?'
Whose love with passage of time never bends
My Father's will I make known - That's My trend
Lo! I promise being with you always to the end."
My Faithful Friend who stood knocking outside
"Please come!' - as I uttered, came inside
Christ led me to pastures by the riverside
'Friend!' Now there's room -For this everlasting WORD Who is by my side.
