Welcome to Pause for Poetry featuring a poem written by my writer-friend, Frances Gregory Pasch, My Best Friend.
My Best Friend
by Frances Gregory Pasch
Jesus is more than my Savior
He’s also my very best friend.
He’s here whenever I need Him.
On Him I can always depend.
He wakes me every morning
He’s with me all through the day.
And when I’m ready to go to bed
With me all night He will stay.
I have no other friend like Him.
He answers whenever I call.
He only wants what’s best for me.
He picks me up each time I fall.
He knows all of my weaknesses
And from His path I might stray.
Yet I’m assured He’ll forgive me
If I turn to Him and pray.
And although He is my best friend
He can be your best friend, too.
For His love has no boundaries
He has lots left just for you.
So stop and take a minute;
Welcome Him into your heart.
You’ll sense a wonderful feeling
That only His peace can impart.
