“Your Friend,” New Era, Aug. 2002, 51

Your Friend

He drank the bitter cup

shed blood in a garden

and died

because He loves you.

Fear not, dear child,

your Friend is always near,

and the light shall guide you to His bosom,

comfort you in His embrace,

brush away the tears,

and the frailties of mortality

will be washed away in His sacrifice

for you.
