Our Buddy (Unedited)

When times get tough it isn’t the end

People still love you, just look for a friend

If they’re not pretend, they’ll be there for you

With open-stretched arms, they’ll know what to do

But friends can be few and some far between

So if they’re not close then what does it mean?

Who can you lean on, where do you run

When the weight on your shoulders feels like a ton?

There’s always one Buddy with big open ears

Even your whispers He easily hears

He’ll clear up his schedule as soon as you call

No problem’s too big; no problem’s too small

We all have that option yet here’s what I think

God takes us to water but won’t make us drink

Some people wink, smile and guffaw

And say there’s no God that they ever saw

That leaves me in awe; God’s in plain view

Just look at the world for a minute or two

Stupendous displays come in so many forms

From crystal-like glaciers to tropical storms

From warm, sandy beaches to snow that is pure

Accidents like this don’t ever occur

I’m sure of one thing; it’s simple to see

Statistically speaking it never could be

We aren’t just a fluke; we’re part of a plan

We’ll figure it out the best that we can

Unanswered questions still will remain

Questions that science won’t ever explain

But one thing is plain, our Buddy is real

And sweeter than honey plus stronger than steel

So if you are feeling like you need advice
