"I'll never forget" is a poem i wrote in the eighth grade and just resently i thought about it and how it shows that God has done work in my life.
i'll never forget
i'll never forget the day
it's so fresh in my mind
my whole life was about to change
hadn't got much sleep that night
didn't even have my own bed
used to sleep on the floor
broken glass and more
i hate remembering those days
i'd go to the fridge
squirt and milk that is all there would be
one meal a day
i'll have to wait till dinner to see
over and over i prayed
for a new better life for me
would God hear my prayer
will see will see
all of a sudden my mom shows up
she finds out dad was taken away
problems at home horrible fighting going on
moms unable to take us away
panicked she calls my aunt and uncle
and asks if they can help
open up there home
for my brother and i to stay
no idea how long
but i new i'd be safe
had only minutes to pack
oh God what do i take
over and over i prayed
for a new better life for me
would God hear my prayer
will see will see
my aunt picked us up
took us to our new home
i got my own room
a huge bed for me
feel scared but excited all at once
tons of food all new clothes and a bird for me
finally can get some rest
no more bugs, glass, or fear for me
courts have decided this is the safest place for me
i never thought it would happen
but God surely heard my plea.
That poem you just read is all true and one of the biggest memories in my life which has helped mold me into the person i am and i am glad that the Lord placed me in the home with many struggles in my life because with him by my side i can be anywhere praising his holy name. in that poem i wrote i wrote things i wish i didn't. i realized i don't hate thinking of the days i lived in Santa Ana, i think God has used it to make me a stronger person and i could use it as proof that it doesn't matter where or who you are you can have drastic changes to your life if you believe in Jesus Christ and put all your trust in him and not in this world, anything can happen.
