Friend of Man (2005), poem by Peter Menkin
by Peter Menkin For a long time weeks, day by day, a month, years... I set out to be friend of God. There is darkness now, at this hour. The night tells me, who chooses. Even if I await the morning and call daystar, Oh, Lord, this is a day you made, I realize now my temerity and ignorance. You choose, and You are the friend to me, man. Humility recognized. God is all. Audio reading of poem by poet here: http://www.archive.org/details/FriendOfManPoemByPeterMenkin Peter Menkin, an aspiring poet, lives in Mill Valley, CA USA where he writes poetry.
