    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this poem many years ago,remembering what I now realize was Jesus at age seven.I don't remember if this was for real or just a dream,but I can still see the vision pretty vividly.I was just abused,went outside,looked up while crying & there was Jesus in the clouds with His arms stretched out dressed in a white robe with a shining light all around Him.I have only heard very little about this Jesus.Rather a dream or a true vision,I will never forget that day when I needed a friend and Jesus was there.

    GREATEST FRIEND

    GREATEST FRIEND

    WHOSE THAT LITTLE GIRL
    WITH TEARS IN HER EYES
    SITTING OUT ON HER PORCH
    LOOKING UP TOWARDS THE SKYS.

    SHES TALKING TO SOMEONE
    WHO?I CAN'T SEE.
    SHES TELLING THEM EVERYTHING
    IN CONFIDENTUALLITY.

    SHE SOUNDS SO GROWN UP
    BUT LOOKS TO BE ABOUT SEVEN.
    YET SHES TELLING THIS SOMEONE EVERYTHING
    THIS SOMEONE MUST LIVE IN HEAVEN.

    I REMEMBER JESUS LOOKING UP
    WHEN ON THE CROSS,TEARS IN HIS EYES.
    HE WAS TALKING TO THE FATHER
    CRYING OUT TO HIM,AND THEN HE DIES.

    THIS LITTLE GIRL MUST HAVE DIED TOO
    DAY BY DAY,YEAR BY YEAR.
    DYING EVERY DAY TO THE WORLD
    WHILE HOLDING ON TO HER FRIEND SO DEAR.

    HE SHOWED HER THINGS SHE NEVER KNEW,
    TOOK HER PLACES SHES NEVER BEEN
    REMOVED HER WOUNDS BUT LEFT HER SCARS
    SO THAT SHE'D NEVER FORGET,HER GREATEST FRIEND.

    Thank you so much for your comment.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
