Walk By The Sea

WE WALKED THERE BY THE SEASHORE
   AS THE WAVES CAME ROLLING IN,
            SOMETIMES TALKING,SOMETIMES SILENT,
        JUST ME AND MY FRIEND.
            WE TALKED OF THINGS I’D SAID AND DONE
            THAT HAD HURT THOSE I HELD DEAR.
            HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND ME,
            AND GENTLY DREW ME NEAR.
            HE ALWAYS MADE ME FEEL SO GOOD,
            FOR HIS ARMS WERE BIG AND STRONG
            AND WHEN HE PUT THEM AROUND ME,
            I KNEW NOTHING COULD GO WRONG.
            HE SAID THAT TROUBLES WERE LIKE SAND
            ALONG THE MASSIVE SHORE,
            AND ONCE THE OCEAN SIFTED THEM,
            THEY WERE THERE NO MORE.
            WE TALKED ABOUT THE HAPPY TIMES
            AND THEN HE TOOK HIS HAND
            AND BUILT A GREAT SAND CASTLE
            OF MY JOYS , THERE IN THE SAND.
            I LAID DOWN ALL THE THINGS IN LIFE
            THAT CAUSED SUCH PAIN FOR ME,    
                    JUST THEN A WAVE CAME ROLLING IN
            AND WASHED THEM OUT TO SEA
            SUCH JOY I FEEL EACH TIME I THINK
            OF THOSE DAYS BESIDE THE SEA,
            WITH MY FRIEND WALKING HAND IN HAND
           JUST JESUS AND ME.

Thank you so much. I do have a Friend that is there 24/7 whenever I need him.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
