I Never Thought of Friendship as a Gift

Knowing Gal 6:7 is true:

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.

------------------------------------------------

In my younger days

We simply laughed and played

We cut each others hair

You woke me with a rake

And as we grew and changed

Some distance had crept in

But you were still my pal

We stuck through thick and thin

The college years brought trouble

You struggled to survive

I walked my own journey

Leading to the other side

In time you came to see Him

A Savoir pure and clean

Again our paths united

And now how long it's been

Fast forward through adulthood

Many have come and gone

The effort required vanishes

Convenience or duty swarms

I do not blame reality

It's just how life can go

He shows us what we need

Contrary to what we sowed
