Joetry: "When People Leave"

If you have ever had someone close, a friend or loved one leave your life for any reason, you already know it is tough. Several years ago, as many people came in and out of my life, I sat down one afternoon and wrote these few thoughts. Thought I'd share a cup of joetry with you!

When People Leave

It’s hard when people walk away

And leave your life in haste

I never have the words to say

Was the time we shared a waste?

I take it personal at times

My heart feels broke in pieces

I sit alone, sometimes I cry

As I eat my bag of Reese’s

Maybe God has got a plan

as people come and go

Just do your part and share your life

It’s not all about you, you know!

The time we have is precious

though sometimes not enough

I must stay close to Jesus

cause the going will be rough

And when we reach the finish line

united, we’ll all be

The ones that stayed,

the ones that left

Will all be there with me:)
