Poetry

into my world of friendship

~Bless My Computer~

Every night I lie in bed,
this little prayer inside my head.
God bless all those I hold so dear,
and keep them safe through coming years.
And, God, there's just one more thing
I wish you would do.

If you don't mind my asking,
would you bless my 'puter too?
Now I know it's not normal
to bless a small machine,
but listen just a second,
and I 'll try to explain.

You see, this little metal box
holds more than odds and ends.
Inside those small components
rest a hundred loving friends.
Some, it's true, I've never seen,
and most I've never met.

We've never shaken hands
or even hugged, and yet...
I know for sure they love me,
by the kindness they give.
And this little scrap of metal
is how I get to where they live.

By faith is how I know them
so if it's ok with you...
Just take an extra minute
from your duties up above...
To bless this little hunk of steel
that's filled with so much love.

Amen.

A Friend From A - Z

Accepts you as you are
Believes in you
Calls you just to say hi
Doesn't give up on you
Envisions the whole of you (even the unfinished parts)
Forgives your mistakes
Gives unconditionally
Helps you
Invites you over
Just be's with you
Keeps you close at heart
Loves you for who you are
Makes a difference in your life
Never judges
Offers support
Picks you up
Quiets your fears
Raises your spirits
Says nice things about you
Tells you the truth when you need to hear it
Understands you
Values you
Walks besides you
Xplains things you don't understand
Yells when you won't listen and
Zaps you back to reality
