He befriended me.

I stumbled and he steadied me.

When I fell, he lifted me again.

He breathed his breath in me.

When my breath was gone,

He breathed in me again.

When I rejected him,

He stood there by my side

Waiting patiently, so patiently.

The I came desperate back to him.

I sinned and knowing as I sinned,

I sinned again.

And when I saw the other’s sin,

I could not see my own

                —blinded by my pride.

But thankfully he humbled me,

Befriending me again.

And as I walk with tiny steps,

He waits for me

Till knowing all my strength is him,

I run …

For he befriended me.
