I wrote this poem to remind myself how easily I can forget
about the very things that sustains me in my life and how easily I forget to
invite my very best friend to go with me when I am in a hurry.
Good Morning Mr. Sun,
Looks like a great day for having fun.
I scurried out and without a doubt,
I had left something important out.
I looked all around and could not see,
What in the world it could possibly be?
I played the whole day, with such delight,
I could feel my soul soar to new heights.
The night set in and the moon was full,
It was beautiful but still I sensed a nagging pull.
Something was missing, or was it someone,
Then I remembered just before my day was done.
My forgetfulness I could not believe,
When I realized who it I was so aggrieved.
It was the Lord I forgot, oh how ashamed I felt,
His forgiveness I quickly sought as I knelt.
I know He never forgets me even when I forget Him,
I am ever so thankful that His love never grows dim.
I am grateful for His ever abounding love, mercy and grace,
I knew I was forgiven the minute I pleaded my case.
I am so glad that He is my very best friend,
He loves me unconditionally even when I sin.
So if you need a special friend,
Who will be with you to the end.
Make Christ the Lord of your life,
With Him you can endure any strife.
