Listen to poem:

What is Yours Can't be Taken Away

What is yours can’t be taken away, no matter who tries
Coming to you with fake friendships, and all of their lies

Never have their pity parties, took upon you such scope
As trying to take away your happiness, then try to elope 

Leave you empty inside, whilst living, what was your life
Never looking backwards to see your pain, or your strife

Lost and forgotten as you then struggle to find your way
Watching others happiness while your heart is in dismay

Standing your ground you are trying not to lose all hope
Puts on a brave face, smiling telling others you can cope

But one night you took it upon you to take your own life
As so to be rid of all of this loneliness and all of its strife

Awaken to find all was as it should be and so much more
God had kept your happiness because he knew the score

Cradled you in his arms, your troubles he had made allay
Whispered in your ear, what is yours can’t be taken away

Very touching and gives all a little hope that God is Good (although I have trouble believing I must admit) Good to see you writing more again my friend
