Love's Mystery, God's Answer

I never been a poetry writer, but one night I was thinking about relationships lost and how they turn. I thought of this poem. I had to write it down before it faded a way. So here is my first attempt at writing something inspirational. Could not think of a name for my poem, but thanks to the lovely Katrina Campbell, she gave me the name

When the love was strong...
I looked to my right and you were right there
I looked to my left and you never left my side
I looked behind me and I saw that you were watching my back
I looked in front of me and there was a window with you in it and you had a light and opportunity

When the love faded............
I looked to my right and you had left
I looked to my left and nothing was right
I looked behind me and you had turned your back
I looked in front and the window became a mirror and all I could see was you walking away.

When I found my strength back.......
I looked to my right and God said "I've always been right here"
I looked to my left and God said "I've never once left your side"
I looked behind me and God said "I've always had your back"
I looked in front and the mirrow became a door and God said "Take my hand child, and follow me"

Instead of trusting people to watch your sides
Know that God is at every side to watch over you.
