This is a little something
That I would like to share
Jani I know how you feel
Because a long time ago I was there
I felt my life was meaningless
And that no one really cared
I fell in to a depression
And each day into deeper despair
For you see I'm disabled too
And I had two little girls
My husband had just left me
And I wanted to leave this cruel world
I didn't really know when
The idea came into mind
For Satan had kept it hidden
Until he thought it was the right time
One morning I awakened
And got my children off to school
I took an overdose of medicine
Before I ever knew
I had to see my doctor
And sitting in his chair
I started feeling dizzy
And couldn't breathe the air
My doctor call an ambulance
And I was placed in ICU
I didn't remember anything
But I knew Satan knew
He had taunted me inside my head
Although I hadn't known
He kept telling me I was worthless
Until it had finally hit home
In the hospital I was dying
And I was drawn into a light
The light was warm and comforting
And I was ready to give up the fight
But then I heard a voice
Speaking to me with love
I knew that it was Jesus
Calling from up above
He said I must return
My work was incomplete
He said that Satan tricked me
So I would give into his defeat
I told Him I'm so lonely
I'm tired and depressed
He said that He would help me
Find true happiness
I woke up in the hospital
And seen my mom crying at the door
I saw such a sadness in her eyes
I never saw before
Then I thought about my daughters
And how I'd miss their growing years
And then I broke down crying
Great big sobbing tears
The tears washed away my sadness
And I knew that Jesus was right
My work on earth was unfinished
And I couldn't give up the fight
And although I'm still disabled
I no longer feel depressed
Because now I have three grandkids
Who give me happiness
So Jani please listen
Your life on earth is not through
Although you might still be disabled
There's lots that you can do
Your sons really need their mother
To teach them right from wrong
You don't want Satan to trick them
Or rob them of their mom
So Jani keep on fighting
And open up your eyes
But keep them always on Jesus
For He is standing by your side

Unbelievably heart warming
Your words blew me away. I know that feeling too . we both know what happened to each other, but here we are still sisters who enjoy loving and talking to one another. Satan still tries to get me , then I hear Jesus say HOLD ON! Thanks sis for the reminder -
Bertie,
A very powerful poem/prayer that you have written. Although it is sad when Satan tries to take over our lives there is still hope in that he never wins. We have to remain strong and I believe that Jani has that strength to told on. She will have opened her eyes already and she will be breathing on her own. I'm so glad that you are here though. You are a strong willed human being. Take care and be safe.
May the colours of the rainbow follow you always.
Smiles always,
Kristina

Beautifully written
Bertie,
I'm so glad that you opened your eyes, if you didn't, I wouldn't have known such a beautiful lady. For you to tell this story must have taken a lot of courage. He will be there by Jani's side -always. Jani has so many wonderful friends, ones who truly love her and family who is there for her. I love you so very much, Bertie. Thank you for everything. Take good care of yourself.
With lots and lots of love,
Kalen -
This is not only an inspirational poem but story as well. I am glad that Jesus saved you from the hands of Satan and this poem gives promise that he will do the same for Jani and she will be here soon to read all these beautiful poems and realize how much she is loved and how many lives she has touched.
