Bad decisions and Grateful knowledge!



Love was near when I heard about you,
But at fifteen I just didn't know what to do.
God give me guidance, I would always say,
This is real life now so I couldn't play.

I straightened up my life,
 because God knew I needed it.
The day came and you were here,
the moment seemed so sincere.

The labor was hard and I didn't know why.
But the moment you died was so hard on me .
I spent days and days searching for answers but little did I know it would take years.

Bad decisions and sleepless nights
I finally know why things work the way the do!
So the thought of being with you in Heaven is in my sights!

About this poem
