Blood For A Frienship

Blood For A Friendship

I look around only to see closed hearts and minds
Past hurt in relationships where love was to begin
A love now lost, bringing on the feeling of rejection
Bricks strategically placed, building walls within

Fear will now certainly prevail over us in situations
When two people come together and a flame is lit
There are no heroes when challenged with this battle
As an exclusive romance brings, security tightly knit

The question is not whether past baggage may exist
But just how heavy the burden of hurt is to carry
Honest communication with two caring individuals
Lightens the load of that which you prefer to bury

I hear so often how some will never love again
A closed mind to what their future may actually hold
One can not predict when or if real love will come
Feelings of sensitivity turning to warmth from cold

Many go through this world searching high and low
Lacking confidence that it shall find the way to them
Nearby a friend stands concerned for our well being
Someone to share our deepest thoughts that may stem

Do we neglect the one person who sincerely loves us
Pushing Him away while showering all the blame
Afraid to open up our tender broken hearts so freely
Making accusations without understanding His name

Even through this, His unconditional love remains
Always reaching out with His saving hand to hold
Father disciplines within the worldly mistakes made
I know He will always rescue me from the bitter cold

I know that a narrow mind can prohibit realization
As a million thoughts race to form being hypocritical
Perhaps consideration to the beginning of your time
When conception was a blessed creation to be analytical

Father willfully created you in His perfect image with love
Then sent His only Begotten Son Jesus purposely to die
Blood dripping from a wooden cross for your freedom
Have you ever searched the Bible for the reason why

Jesus has always loved you, regardless of recognized shame
To trust in His name is not something this world taught
Faith hope and love always remains within your heart
I pray that you give this relationship, your sincere thought
