The Divine Friend Poem by George Krokos

You are in my mind and in my heart
and in reality we are never apart

though in forgetfulness I go my separate way
only to return again after I've gone astray.

When our need is great
and we just can't wait

we turn to You with all our might
regardless of whether we are right

asking of Thee many things with much zeal
irrespective if they are imagined or real.

You listen to our requests like a loving mother
and supply all our needs like a knowing father.

As children to their elders we relate to You
and You resemble a friend who is always true.

The light in the darkness that we seek You are
like an ever present solace You are never far

Your refulgent nature is the essence of our soul
few there have been who have made You their goal.
