MY YOUNG FRIEND

My young friend, my young Creation,

I know things are tough, right now,

but just remember I will always love you.

Just remember, I’ve placed people in your life

who can help you deal with any situation

just by letting you talk to them about it;

people who won’t repeat a thing said by you.

Just remember, also that I am always here, Myself

if you feel you can’t go to anyone else.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

For Robert, wherever you may be today.  You cam eto church (with your foster parents) and I saw you grow, I saw you give your life to Jesus, and I saw the Joy with which He replaced your sorrow.  Then DHS said it was time for you to return to your mom, and I haven't seen you since.  I still pray for you, often.  May you remain in His Joy, and in His Light.
