The Thoughts of the Abandoned - a Message of Hope For Us All
He looked up at the skies as if he saw the heavens open as his heart bled
seeing the clouds engulf the face of the earth
reluctantly, he was glad he was living
a lifeless soul, but still breathing
the mysterious misery of his daily life left him stranded and soaked in his worldly desires
drenched in the tears of his abominable fears
he lived outside in the cold, the last place he preferred
he lost his job, couldn't pay his rent
he went around begging, humiliated
this thought continually recurred in his head "How do I start all over again"
He lay outside in the cold for over two months
shivering in tears, gnashing for hope
feeling abandoned
to him all hope was lost
Good news!
a letter of appointment had arrived at his former residence
the present occupant read the name on it
to his amazement, it was addressed to his current residence and had the name of the former
occupant
the man in the paper who had taken his life by slashing his wrists
Please don't give up
your time will come
here is a message of hope for us all.
