The Thoughts of the Abandoned - a Message of Hope For Us All

He looked up at the skies as if he saw the heavens open as his heart bled seeing the clouds engulf the face of the earth reluctantly, he was glad he was living a lifeless soul, but still breathing the mysterious misery of his daily life left him stranded and soaked in his worldly desires drenched in the tears of his abominable fears he lived outside in the cold, the last place he preferred he lost his job, couldn't pay his rent he went around begging, humiliated this thought continually recurred in his head "How do I start all over again" He lay outside in the cold for over two months shivering in tears, gnashing for hope feeling abandoned to him all hope was lost Good news! a letter of appointment had arrived at his former residence the present occupant read the name on it to his amazement, it was addressed to his current residence and had the name of the former occupant the man in the paper who had taken his life by slashing his wrists Please don't give up your time will come here is a message of hope for us all.
