DON’T YOU EVER WALK ALONE! (POEM)
It’s that time of year again when I celebrate a special young woman, my niece, Ezinne. As believers, the Lord Jesus should be our closest friend. Still, a crucial nourishment for our growth in life is the relationships we build with other people. Our zeal to worship should not preclude this lest we become malformed and suffer from avoidable physical and psychological issues. This is the theme of my birthday poem for her this year.
Love you, sweetie! You’ll always be and have the best in life in Jesus’ name. Have a fantastic birthday!!! 💜🌹🎂💐🍰🍡🎪🌷❤️

DONT YOU EVER WALK ALONE!
As you turn thirteen today
A vibrant life for you I pray
A life enriched with people known
A life that never walks alone
Walk with God to pick your friends
Form strong bonds that nothing rends
With young, old, rich and poor
Male, female, and every colour
Friends will spur and cheer you on
Push you when your strength is gone
Friends will help you keep it real
When by grace you become a big deal
Never think faith is all you need
True, the Lord should take the lead
But we function best when we connect
With folks like us that He selects

Such an inspirational poem. I always pray to God to give me good friends that will lead me through the right path and not the one that will take me astray. My prayer is that he will continue to guide us throughout the days of our lives, Amen🙏
Happy birthday in arrears Baby girl.
As I join ur Aunt in celebrating you, may you never lack abundant blessings in Jesus’ name. Amen.
In as much as we put God first, we should also know that people around us are very important as they help to direct us when we are missing it and also help us when we need them. But the issue here is getting the right one that are going where we are going and can be there for us when we need them and that is why we should put God first to help choose our friends. One thing i like about this poem is it rythm. God bless you ma.
I’ve seen the structure. Thank you ma’am.
I can improve with more of this
Very true, we function best when we connect with folks like us that he select
