Cory Long Poet Free verse

Guidence From Above

Their back at my door 
looking for a payment to be made. 
If I had the money I'd gladly pay. 
The bills are piling up on the counter 
and top of the fridge. 
Washer broke last week
and the car needs brakes. 
My kids want things 
and I can not pay. 
This is what I  face. 
Unemployed and struggling every day 
on my  knees I pray at night 
hoping for an angel to arrive. 
Take me away on her wings 
showing me amazing things
guiding me through the land
as she holds my hand.

Carolyn Devonshire March 23, 2012 at 3:24 PM Oh, Cory, this is a sad state of affairs. Everything broken, bill collectors coming to the house and struggling to find work. I hope that angel comes your way and provides the guidance you need to solve all these problems. Very compelling poem! Love, Carolyn
