My New Best Friend

Today I met a great new friend
Who knew me right away.
It's funny how he understood
All that I had to say.

He listened to my problems.
He listened to my dreams.
We talked about love and life
He's been there too, it seems.

I never once felt judged by him.
He knew just how I felt.
He seemed to just accept me
And all the problems I 'as dealt.

He didn't interrupt me
Or need to have his say.
He just listened very patiently
And didn't go away.

I wanted him to understand
How much this meant to me
But as I went to hug him
Something startled me.

I put my arms in front of me
And went to pull him near
And found my new best friend was God
And that was crystal clear.
