'Much Better Than I Deserve' Poem by Linda Winchell

I wasn’t sure if you cared to know
How I was getting along.
But since we had parted my freind
I seem to be humming a different song.

The tune is much lighter now
Than it use to ever be.
I feel more at ease with things
Now touching, a much more Spiritual side of me.

I know we seemed to have had a lot in common
But I guess that was only earthly idol chatter?
For what really is most important in life
Is nurturing a fulfilling Godly matter.

Filling my days with prayers and praise
Seems all I wish and care to do.
Not that it wasn’t fun you see
Having a luck warm friend like you.

But God has filled up a spot in me
That your friendship had never lent.
It seems to have more purpose now
Of the time with God, when spent.

So I will love you from a distance now
Because God would want it, just that way.
So forgive me now for I must go
To ask God in prayer while on my knees
That somehow, He heals your hurting heart today.
