Take Away

Take away my anger.
Take away my pride.
Take away my family.
Take away my friends.
Take away my boyfriend.

Take away my shelter.
Take away my job.
Take away my warm clothes.
Take away my entertainment.
Take away my everything I have.

Because there is one thing you can't take away.
You can't take away my lord from me.
You can't take away my faith from me.
You can't take away my belief from me.

You can't take my love for God from me.
You can't take my hope from me.
You can't take my joy from me.
You can't take my happiness from me.
You can't take my kindness from me.

I see you all found some inspiration while I was not at the Soup this weekend. I enjoyed reading your poetry today and will be back again soon to read more Angel. May you have a week of good health, joy and sunshine to light up your life. Love, Carol
