The Fear Of Loneliness Poem by Long Tooth

I think that you love me; I still fear loneliness.
I feel God's soft rapport; I still fear loneliness,
So many blessings, always needed shade,
One foot in heaven, seem to have it made,
But deep inside my soul; I still fear loneliness!

Friends call or lean on me; I still fear loneliness.
My family's support; I still fear loneliness.
Still got some hair and age befitting health,
Concern of loving friends and ample wealth,
Against star-swarming night; I still fear loneliness!

When days abound with cheer; I still fear loneliness.
Sunsets (and frosty beer): I still fear loneliness.
Does guilt explain the emptiness I feel,
Is fault the cause of pain that seems so real?
Though God is lonely too? I still fear loneliness!

Man made in God's image; should I fear loneliness?
Christ's death, sadness He shared; should I fear loneliness?
A child of God! Are feelings ALL divine?
The branch bears fruit; its genes spring from true vine.
Though I lose breath and rhyme; I share God's loneliness!
