If You Want To Have A Friend Why Not Be One? Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

If You Want To Have A Friend Why Not Be One?



If you want to have a friend, why not be one?
How else will you meet your very own special someone?
Someone who really believes in you when the whole
wide world turns you away.
And you feel like you belong no matter where yo stay.
And you really wish the whole wide world would just go away.

You try to run and hide hiding the pain you feel way
down deep inside. And there is no one in the world
who would carry if you were no longer around.
You concentrate on the best way to end your earthly life.
Instead of turning all your heartache and grief
to your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

He took your blame and your sinful shame on
Calvary's Cross. There remains no reason why
you need to remain enterally lost.
Jesus Christ paid his ultimate price. In
order for you to have everlasting life.
Why not become part of the body of Christ?

Jesus Christ will claim you as his bride,
and he will become your bride groom.
You will learn to watch, wait, and pray.
He promises to return without much further delay.
Why not let him come into your heart to stay?

Love in Christ Jesus!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I apparently misquoted Ralph Waldo Emerson. My friend, Autumn, who lives in my apartment complex. Gave it to me as a gift. "The only way to have a friend is to be one." I will write a separate poem for it.
