Since I got some good
reviews on my last poem I thought I would push my luck and try one more. I promise, just one more unless asked for more.
I wrote this one when I was in Colorado but it's about a time before I moved to Colorado.
Friends
Time has passed by, life appeared to be good.
I thought I was happy, did the best that I could.
I took it for granted I would always succeed.
I discovered one day I was wrong indeed.
My life was in shambles, lost all that I had.
Whatever I did kept turning out bad.
I began to despair as I looked at my life.
Wanting to die as I thought of my strife.
When I couldn't go on and was lost I feared,
My cry was heard and two angels appeared.
One spoke of faith, the other esteem.
I couldn't believe it, this must be a dream.
The angels are friends I've known for years.
They came to encourage and ease my fears.
They didn't give up when I didn't believe,
But planted a seed before taking their leave.
I pondered the thoughts they put in my head.
Life can be better as I visioned ahead.
Thoughts are now forward, there's no looking back.
I know they're still with me as I follow my track.
Angels could be friends, family or foe.
You never can tell which one will bestow
That spark of hope that will turn you around,
And get you past where your life went aground.
When life's going bad, a struggle to survive,
I sit back to wait for angels to arrive.
No matter how bad it seems right now,
Things will get better I know somehow.
My life has been changed for the better I'm sure.
I've picked myself up, I know I'll endure.
Life is now precious, been given a new start.
Something awaits me, I know in my heart.
