The Only Forever Lasting Friend Poem by Rita Hawkins

Hard times will, so will good,
But they are never forever lasting,
Even when we think they should be.
Friends will come and in the end they will go,
But there is one thing everyone should know.

Actually, some say this 'thing' is a person,
And others a spirit,
All I know is his name is God, and he has a son named Jesus.

Jesus died for our sins, and now we may see god,
Without Jesus that would have never been.
It is not because of men that our lives are as good,
But it because of God, those things could go right,
Such as we have not lost thins fight we call 'war'
It is him who opens the next door.

Yes he closes them, too,
But if we look there is something new,
That is possibly greater or more exciting,
And if he had his way, we would be at peace and not fighting.

I know some will condemn this writing,
And no I am not going to quit citing here and the about God,
Because his rod is great, and he is awesome, and real,
So those who do not believe, just think of the deal you are missing.
Instead of thinking ugly,
hink of how God helped his son feed hundreds
With 2 fish an 5 loafs of bread,
And no he was not fishing for more,
Then when we killed him, he arose from the dead.
