Caught by Surprise

Part # 1

Caught by Surprise

Written by Justina Braun Feb.9/13

Life started off like any other day,

The birds were singing and the winds blowing the leaves astray.

The Sun had risen and the alarm shimmed,

And this only meant one thing when living like you’re being timed.

That day, my life changed in ways I can’t explain!

And all it took was one phone call that brought much pain.

It felt like we were living a night mare,

Only this time, it happened to feel very real and like no one cared.

Was it losing everything including our pride that hurt so much??

No, I highly doubt life would stop with force as such.

You may then ask why the reason for so much pain.

Nothing hurts more then being stabbed and you can’t find strength to regain.

We thought our community was one of support…

One brother suffers, there should be loving hands reaching of some sort.

Instead, there’s living proof of hearts divided.

It’s been said you can’t serve two masters, yet these two have now collided!

I’ve witness on more then one account, people living double lives!

Sunday professing to be living for the Lord; then through the week slashing things apart with knives!

I’ve always been taught to see the best in people no matter what.

Yet seeing now through a new set of eyes, you realize you can’t depend on anyone as you once thought!

Through the experience of losing everything,

I realize that this isn’t home and that one day in heaven I again will laugh and sing!

I came into this world naked and naked I will be leaving.

And one thing that can’t be taken away is my faith, I will continue believing!

We were caught by surprise when money was stolen from us.

Everything earthly has been taken away including our trust.

But there still stayed a few that will never be taken away that remain,

My family and my Eternal Father who owns it all and through this has everything to gain!

My 3 Musketeers

My 3 Musketeers

My gorgeous 3 musketeers,

When you’re around, I have almost no fears.

You’ve been there for me through thin and thick,

Mothered me through heart breaks and when sick.

Vero, Maria, and Lisa, I don’t know how I ever found friends like you!

I’ll always treasure all the moments spent together with you.

We’ve shared many a moments in the last years,

Crying, talking, laughing, and worrying about future fears.

I loved the venting sessions which normally took place while on walks.

Were they exciting, sad, or worry moments, there sure were many great talks!

Now, when it came time to get together to pray,

There were times when I kind of strayed.

(Which included you, cause when sleeping I was still prayingJlol.)

I want to thank you 3 musketeers for being with me,

Through the highs and in the valley below, with me there you’d be.

God gave me these lovely Angels to help me up in time of need,

And know, for you, I’ve prayed many a prayer for my musketeers to succeed!

Life isn’t over until it’s over,

Use the bumps in the road to boost you up to reach your aim sooner.

Life isn’t fair, so expect to go through hard tests on the way,

And remember, we’ve got someone fighting for us everyday!
