Only a True Friend Can

Talk to me but use no words

Cry wells of tears with me

Laugh with me like crazy

Feel my deepest hurts

Put up with my quirks

Hold my hands tightly

Read my perplexed mind

Be with me here and now

With a silent powerful bond

And just perfectly understand

Only a true friend can

THANKSGIVING IN A DAY OF CONTRADICTIONS

I am in a quandary, 
but You LEAD me, Lord.
I still feel bad about recent events, 
but my FAITH is far bigger than my feelings.
I still think a lot about the seemingly bad decisions I've made, 
but Your WORD reassures me time and time again.  
I still have apprehensions about my next steps, 
but Your LOVE casts away all my fears.
I would just like to cry my day away, 
but Your SPIRIT moves me on.
I am in a state of struggle, 
but You AFFIRM me.
