Poem
I didn't know what to do One day I was hungry And my family was too So much of stress, I didn't know what to do I sat and wondered what My next meal would be No apples or oranges To fall from the tree I went to my neighbors And ask for bread Only enough for our self; That’s what they said The look on my children face; I just couldn't forget it The store manager said; No money no credit By now I was tired And my eyes fill with tears I have to feed my family, But no one would give. My children crying for food, And I didn't know what to do If only I knew some way To help me pull through. On my way home I passed this church I heard good singing That I like very much The doors of the church I fasten my eyes I walked slowly through The door, on the inside The preacher walked down And took my hand He said; you going through, But God understand The message was clear As the bible on my shelf I needed the faith To believe for myself. I prayed and I waited, Setting quiet as a mouse Mid-day the next day, God sent an Angel to my house A knock on the door, I open with a smile Please come in and sat a while. He said; I tried to call you, I did my best To bring to you this very last check When you got fired from your job They fail to give you your last pay This is what brought me To your house today. It clicked in my head What the preacher had said; God understands, and he sent me bread Tears ran down my face As I walked up my stairs It’s a miracle; God do answer prayers He has saved me From the trouble in my life And for that I will Sleep well tonight.
