Excuse Me Friend

Excuse me Friend,
Have you the time to spend?
To walk with me awhile,
To go the extra mile?
I often see you go right by
Without even a simple "Hi."
Oh dear friend,
I will mend -
But how long can you stand
Without taking my hand?
Whenever you discover that you're a child of God
I know that you'll hold tightly to the rod.
My wards are most true.
When I say, "I love you."
So please...
Get down on your knees
And walk along with Me.
