Inspired Poem by SarahLaney Long

The things that she took with her
Were the things he needed most
She took along her body and soul
Now to him, she was a ghost.

From the day she left him
All he did was grieve
No more love was offered
And none did he receive.

She took along her body
She took along her soul
She took along her heart
Which was what made him whole.

She took along her smile
She took along her hair
She took along his gift
of someone always being there.

He had no more hope
He didn`t want to try
He had given up everything
All he did was cry.

No more did he listen
To what anyone had to say
He lost his entire life
When she died that day.

But what he didn`t know
Is that God saw it all
Saw him grieving for her
And saw him slip and fall.

'You`ve got it all wrong'
God whispered to the man
'Let her go, she is free
Go do all you can.'

The man was then inspired
So he decided to write a book
Of how God had spoken to him
About the life he took.

It wasn`t that He took her from him
It was that God needed her more
But there was more in this man`s life
That he needed to explore.

No need to feel discouraged
Or like you`re at the end
Eventhough you`ve lost someone
Lost your only friend.

There are people out there
Who truly care for you
And they will help you out
When you don`t know what to do.

Often times things are overlooked
The people who really care
You think they will leave
When you need them there.

The man then found his friends
And he made new ones, too
Without God in his life
He hadn`t had a clue.

The book was then published
First day on the shelf
Number one and best seller
The man was proud of him self.

These miracles they do happen
God had helped him through
And if you just seek Him
He can help you, too.

*What one of my best friends went through, Love you, bro! *
