Perhaps God can turn things around.
The hope within me
and wishes that I cherish.
There's a lot within my heavy heart.
I'm looking at every situation in a positive way.
I'm looking at life and taking things one step at a time.
Experiencing sorrow and embarrassment
The unfortunate moments of my life
All of those memories stay in my heart.
Sometimes I think I'm cursed.
When I look at people who are similar to me,
I mean those who have no shelter.
I see that life is unfair.
God might have made it that way.
He knew that there would be us, beggars like myself.
He knew that there would be those whom we would beg from.
Then I accepted that I might die this way.

The Dryads are Calling
They say the forest by Phoenix River sings. Perhaps it is just the wind howling through the leaves, or a particular birdsong. But Percy Fisher knows better; he knows what lies in those woods, and he knows that the forest sings of his demise.

Awesome Article. keep up the good work.
Your poem is a heartbreaking ....yet powerful reflection on the human condition....I liked it😊
I like your opening statement. It's very powerful! God's ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts aren't like ours. He sees, He knows, and He sends Deliverers ahead of time, to deliver His people. Don't lose your hope. Don't lose your faith in God. Trust Him. 🙏
This was so poignant and heartbreaking. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
