I had totally forgotten the poem and all of a sudden most all of it was brought to light once again.
At the time i believed the poem was for a next door neighbor who had a drinking problem.
Thankfully i had somehow quit drinking many moons past.
-------
Why do people drink as they do?
Could be man, a woman or even you.
"Never give up", you hear it said all the time,
Keep looking and searching for what's mine.
Yet, how long to endure that grueling pace?
With no friend, no love, to find it's rightful place.
And then eyes fill with tears as hearts bleed,
But drinking doesn't help in that time of need.
Are we then to revert to that old yet new,
That fickle friend whose head you unscrew.
Or could it be that in that darkest hour,
That the GOD above will grant you the power?
The power of love, the power of caring,
And then for a lifetime something well worth sharing.
-------
Not exactly word for word as it was way back when. And at the time i had not yet experienced The Son of The Only True GOD....... The Messiah, He Who revealed GOD as "Our Father" and IS a Living example of GOD's Power, HIS Love, HIS Caring!
The Messiah, Immanuel, is well worth sharing indeed and Truth!
And Our Father and GOD is yet with us as we abide in HIS Son The Messiah, our Master and Brother, He Who leads His Brethren on The Way to The Truth of The Life.......
