Love Poem: Where Were You When I Needed a Friend

Where Were You When I Needed a Friend

You weren't my friend...  
When I needed one the most.
You were filled with anger.  
Not the Holy Ghost

You believed what others said 
about me to be true...
And now...  There's a wide "gap" 
between us two...

Rather than asking for forgiveness
 because of what you believed..
Many rumors and gossip is what
 you received.

Are you going to love me as a 
Christian brother should?
Or is your heart going to remain 
"as hard as wood?"

Be careful what you listen to.
  As others often complain...
And especially when they 
  bring up my name.

Walk in the peace and love. 
 And a Godly affection...
So your life isn't filled with
 "wordly attention."

God will give you the victory that 
you need to overcome...
By the blood of the cross
 and the power of his son!

May the work of the cross 
be a "wake up call..."
Being an example of God's grace... 
 To one and all!
