Last week one of my Pen Pals wrote me a letter and included a poem he wrote as well.
So I thought I’d share it with yall.
“Situations”
Oh, how my mind seeks rest. Oh, how my soul seeks a friend.
But my soul still goes without, because of the situation I’m in.
My situation causes pain. It causes destruction and disgrace.
It even caused the ones who love me, to disappear before my face.
Some lasted for a winter, some through the spring and fall.
Some even lasted for a summer, but my situation out lasted them all.
Now it’s only me and my situation and it haunts me like a cause.
Some even think my situation will out last my time on earth.
But God forbids, he won’t allow my situation to last that long.
For God made me a real man, and my situation is not that strong.
So why did my situation scare them? was their love even real?
Out of sight, out of mind, regardless how it feels.
But I must respect my situation, it taught me to help myself.
It taught me to love everyone, but trust me, no one else.
It’s funny how situations occur, but even funnier how they end.
I’ll never forget my situation because it showed me my true friends.
But I’m glad I found a friend, in Jesus Christ that is who through my situations
will never leave or forsake me, but will love me until the end! - Raymond
