JESUS IS MY FRIEND

I was 450lbs+ & couldn't walk I opened my mouth & couldn't talk.. I was full of self hate- I closed off my life I sat, I wallo'd in my strife. My body functions were out of control I forgot I had a goal. When I was angry - I'd smile My heart screamed out "LOVE ME AWHILE". I reached out & saw no one's hands No one but my husband understands... Someone I loved needed a prayer I prayed - I remembered - Jesus was there. Jesus reminded me - HE LOVES ME! Fat - Thin - Tall - Short - HE LOVES ME! He blessed me with wisdom, love & health. 89lbs gone, I speak & walk - SEE MY WEALTH! What I learned is Jesus carries my strife He loves me for the rest of my life. When I am down and want to give up He carries me, lovingly - as if I were a pup. Without a problem - He could never create A miracle. and He is never late. My spirit lifts as I am proud "JESUS IS MY FRIEND" - I SHOUT OUT LOUD!                          Dawn Anne Hall

Additional Notes:
The Capitals are on purpose - my heart shouts! The dashes I feel give my poems extra expression. This is my life folks. I pray that as I speak up - I help at least one person to have hope. Take a stand, be clear of what you want, and GO FOR YOUR GOAL! If you need a friend I am here for you! God loves you and so do I! Dawn
