Who is like God?
I query to myself;
Who is like heaven,
'gainst my private hell?
Who is like Him,
Bringing words o' salvation;
Washing my soiled feet
In joyful restoration?
He's my friend and brother;
A blessing in this age,
With most child-like faith,
Confounding worldly sage.
He reminds me
What I have in God;
Lifting up my head,
My voice proclaims Your laud!
If I am David, Lord,
He's my Jonathan;
Turning me from the dark,
Back to the Son again.
I glory not
In this gift You've given;
But in Your divine love,
By which my life is driven.
So for now, my Lord,
Thank You for this grace;
Thank you how he and I
Will, one day, see Your face!
Author notes
I wrote this to bless my best friend and brother, Michael, who has been such a great support, through difficult times, and continues to be. He hasn't seen this, yet. While I write it for his blessing, I mostly write it to thank the Lord for His love through him. He has the glory!
Update: Since I have posted this Michael has had a chance to read what I wrote him. He wept after finishing it, he was so blessed, and I was blessed to have given it to him.

i liked the write. and to center it you go to edit scroll down and it says left click that then click center thats all you have to do besides hit edit poem when you are finished
-
It has been a sort of signature of mine to make the buttons hard to find; and they can be found by placing the cursor over them-they highlight.
I wanted to center the poem, as you're suggesting, but I don't have that option, but in my ignorance I don't know how to do that.
Other than that, what do you think of the write?
Thanks!

thank you for entering may i make a suggestion though... you dont have to do this but it would make it easiers to read the bottens like reply and the ppls sn if you changed your black font and also the font of your poem it would be easier to read if you centered it, just a few suggestions thanks for entering and good luck.

St. Michael -
Thanks, sis, for the applause and comment.
I read this to him, outside our church last night, face to face. He ended up weeping like a baby. It really blessed him. All we could do was give each other a big hug.
Well not only that. I also found myself sharing more words of encouragement for him, and thanking him for the friendship. It was awesome!
I still think I was the most blessed in giving it to him. -
Thank you! Your comment is greatly appreciated. God bless!

This is how i feel about my deceased older brother.
This poem is amazing and the way you intergrated it with such a religious theme is amazing aswell.
Great piece please keep the work coming.
