'walked Away'

When he walked away  He yearned for you to call him back  Even though it would not be what it use to be He hoped; he had that believe that you could try again  That "call back" never came  Just like that morning  As with every morning thereafter He wondered should he have turned back  Just get a last glimpse of your smile  A smile that said you believed in us  Instead all he got was a bewildered face  A stare that had so many "what ifs"

Ask God to give you the spirit of discernment, he will touch you and give you the deep knowledge of understanding reading his words through the Bible. The Bible is powerful tools to conquer everthing, know him through his words. God bless you.

I can definitely relate to this, everyone can I think. It is so hard to walk away not knowing what might happen next... These lines are very emotive and I feel them deep in my heart, Wilma. Great writing!

Yes, all the what-if's in life come crawling into your mind like cockroaches, feelers probing the air...
