Hard Times

When you are in the cycle of troubled times,
you feel as though the world is against you over and over again.
You find yourself sacrificing yourself in order to save the ones you love.

I ask," God what are you doing to us?"
Every time he answers," This is to make you stronger. I am testing you in time so you will show the world what I have created."

I am told I must be strong for my family and keep moving as though nothing is wrong. It is difficult. I have to take care of those who have taken care of me. I am prematurely leaving my childhood to step up so others will not suffer. I am finding many challenges
thrown in my direction.....and I AM becoming stronger.

I will not succumb, for this defeats God's purpose. I will only keep moving and overcome the obstacles in my way. Nothing can stop me.
In the future everything comes full circle and there will be brightness again soon.

This poem hits close to home.

    the emotion in this is breath taking..

    as the words you chose freely bring your message home.
    We all want to reach out to you and whisper...you are
    not alone!  It left me feeling..it's just so sad that
    for some us we have to grow up way too quickly..and
    leave the sandbox and the pail for household chores
    and responsibilities we're way to young to be doing.
    YOU are a strong and powerful writer!
    WElcome to allpoetry.com I will read all your reads!

    starving thief all the scholarships and grants you
    can get your hands on...because I want to brag I
    read you first on allpoetry.com!!  : ))))))))))
