I Hate It When This World Just Knocks the Wind Right Out of You

I’ve heard the news and I can’t believe how It could have occurred and that it weighs on my brow It’s got me troubled in a frozen state But it’s out of my hands and I have to leave it up to fate Something bad has happened and I don’t know what to do I hate it when this world just knocks the wind right out of you What can I do to help the problems and the pain I know if I don’t do something I’ll never be the same Trust in me until things fully mend I’ll be right here for I am you friend Something bad has happened and I don’t know what to do I hate it when this world just knocks the wind right out of you You didn’t ask for this but its now at your door It’s right in your face and you can’t even ignore Your down not out so use the strength you’ve stored Have faith in your self and the lord Something bad has happened and I don’t know what to do I hate it when this world just knocks the wind right out of you I’ll be here waiting with me you can confide I’ll come when you call to be by you’re side I hope things get better and your life starts new I’ve been there in the past and I’ll be there even more now just for you Something bad happened and I don’t know what to do I hate it when this world just knocks the wind right out of you

"Something bad happened and I don’t know what to do" I know, I wish I had the answers. I wish I knew what to do. Continue to pray. There is power in prayer. I saw this featured on the main page here at Poetry Soup. It is an amazing poem. My best to you. ~ Brandy

Offering to be there when someone needs you shows the compassion in your heart, Kevin. Sometimes in our most desparate moments we look around and see no one. How great it is to have a friend who's always there when needed. Very much enjoyed the message in your poem as well as the skillful way in which it was conveyed. Best wishes, Carolyn
