Poem 23
No Longer Alone
When life was beautiful,
Everything has turned out successfully.
We had enough money,
And everyone liked to join our journey.
When life became ugly,
Our jobs had more difficulties.
We lost our properties.
Then our close friends gradually left us.
Until one day no one was here,
We looked around...became full of fear.
Our tears kept pouring,
But God has come and dried our tears.
Our Lord will always be here,
Whenever we’re in need of a friend
Who can comfort and give us strength.
So we're no longer alone since then.
Trust in Him for all your life trends,
So you are no longer a lonely man,
'Cause He's the Lord who always remains,
No matter how dramatic life does change.
