Marilyn Williams Poet Blank verse

Need to know why?

I need to know:
                       when things go a rye.
                       when all you plan goes up in the air.
                       when life gets turned upside down
                       when no one calls anymore.
                       when friends you thought were friends get strange     
                       when you can answer in one syllable "yes" or "no.

                       when your dreams fail.
                       when the one you pick is not the one.
                       when every day seems the same.
                       when no one looks you in the eye.
                       when you feel blue.

                       when the sun no longer shines,
                       and it's not night.
                       
                       When you just plain have had it.

I need to know why.

Sara Kendrick July 10, 2025 at 8:54 AM Life issues out some very hard blows sometimes and the older we get the harder they are, but take hope, Jesus went through so much in his short life here on earth, but He is seated next to His Father's right hand waiting for us to call on Him in those times when things just don't go right.
