Sunday of my Life

Well, for the sake of it, I guess. Those who know me know I’m not really the most overtly religious of people. I have faith and spirituality and opinions about them and my own ideas, but I don’t share it, becuase I don’t really see a point. It’s mine — wholly mine — and no one else’s and, frankly, whether or not anyone else agrees or with or shares my beliefs doesn’t really make that much of a difference to me. But a prayer, this evening, for a friend. For a lot of my friends actually, but for one in particular. He means so much to me; a guy who, though just about twice my age, has been there for me for over 10 years now. A true friend, in every sense of the word. He recently lost his father, and has now been laid low himself by a heart attack. He’s currently in a hospital in New Zealand — I know not which one — and lacking any place better ot put my thoughts, I’ll put them here, in this journal; the place intended originally for my thoughts and aspirations.

A Prayer

———–

Listen now unto these words.
They come from the heart,
To speak to the soul.

Though times ahead may seem dark,
Remember that friends are with you,
And naught will change that.

What life may bring you,
We will be there,
And help is always at your call.

We offer friendship, and love
Each in our own way,
But all with sincerity.

We will be there, through the battles ahead,
We will be there for you, come what may,
Always and forever.

There, I’ve said my piece for the night.

I do apologise for the laxity of my updates of late. I’ve been doing things. I’ll try to pick up the pace a bit more in the coming weeks. Trying is all I can promise, for now.
