Stolen Purse

From my car,
they took my purse,
I had to bite my tongue,
before I cursed.

All my cash,
and my diamond ring,
they took it all,
everything.

Don't leave your purse,
even for a second,
I thought I was watching,
but they're professional soon to be felons.

I can identify with you on this one. Last year on my birthday they broke into my car. Took my card portfolio and driver's handbook and other things. I am so thankful the Lord used this incident to put fire under my husband to move out of that neighborhood. Let it be a learning experience.

I know how you feel too. It destroys your trust and you just feel absolutely violated. I had taken out over $1500.00 to pay (Lawyer fees) and didn't realize someone was watching me. I ended up getting a much less qualified attorney because of lack of funds. It still gets my dander up. I worked hard for that money!-AA

It feels like such a personal invasion when someone thoughtlessly pilfers a purse. And to think it held your diamond ring just compounds the gravity of the loss. Wise warning to heed in the last verse, Christy. I'm sorry for your loss. I hope God gives you the strength to cope with this. Love, Carolyn
