Once upon a time, there was a girl who thought
That all what was said were true
She loved, she trusted, she gave her all
And ended up totally blue.
Every day she begged for food
And worried where she would stay
She spent her days so full of tears
Realizing she should have walked away.
Because of that one day she fell
To her knees and cried to God
Please help me start a new life today
Help me to walk only on your sod.
Because she sounded so sincere
God lifted her from her pain
He fed and clothed her and gave her hope
And turned off the clouds of rain.
Until finally with a guiding hand
She landed on her feet
She gave her thanks to him each day
By spreading his name all over the streets.

What I love most about this is its simplicity…and that simplicity is perfect for the story you are telling because really, it is a simple thing to do, to turn it over to Him and let go. That’s it! We just seem to forget that. Thank you for an inspiring write, Terry! ♥
