My Journey to God

My Finest Friend

It’s been too long since I have said to you, dear Lord,
That all my thoughts are with you every day,
And longer still since last I’ve said a word
To let you know my love’s not gone astray.
Although I may not tell you all my inner thoughts,
I know you know the things I always do,
And any word or deed I may perform
Is never done before consulting you.
Don’t ever leave my soul, dear Lord above,
Remember, though I often times forget,
The thought within my soul will always be
That you’re the finest friend I’ve ever met.
