bombom's blog: "Love"

I was walking along a country road 
one calm and cloudy day
Feeling down about the problems that had seemed to come my way
My pain was very great and 
my tears I could not hide
And was calling God to help me 
as I was hurting deep inside

I then thought about what I've believed 
and how I've rarely called
For sometimes I have wondered 
if God were there at all
As I lifted up my head and 
looked down that road a spell
I spotted someone coming - 
from the distance hard to tell

As he got a little closer 
I could then see all the signs
Of someone who'd been down that road 
quite a number of times
His clothes were old and dusty 
and his shoes were pretty worn
But there seemed a glow about him - 
at least I could have sworn

His face appeared real friendly 
as he peered up in the sky
He said, the weather is pretty calm today, 
hope the rain will pass us by
He first talked about the weather, 
but there seemed to be much more
That we both had in common, 
except for what we wore

He started talking about his life 
and the places he had been
And he spoke as if he knew me, 
like we were next-of-kin
From the problems that he had, 
to the happy times he found
Our likeness was uncanny 
and was becoming more profound

We had so much in common - 
I couldn't believe how much alike,
That I decided to tag along, 
we continued on our hike
He said he's from all over 
and his name was just like mine,
And hoped one day that we would meet 
as he had a real short time

I was feeling sort of baffled, 
as we went on with our walk
But he had held my interest, 
so I listened as he talked
He said, I know you're hurting - 
as your life has been so hard
But it seems today that you found God, 
where once you'd disregard

From the point that I was calling 
and was asking for God's hand,
Is the point where he had first appeared, 
as this was in God’s plan
He said to take more time for prayer - 
that I could bend God's ear
That He is always listening, 
and He is always near

God knows about my struggles 
but better times will be ahead,
As long as I keep believing 
and will no longer be mislead.
We then turned onto a sidewalk 
and now very close to home,
And it was then it struck me 
that I was suddenly now alone.

This stopped me in my tracks 
and I began to call his name
And it was then I understood, 
why to me that day he came.
I then realized God had heard me, 
as my Angel He then sent
To relieve me of my worries, 
and all my discontent.
