Depression Poems: When I am down I look to Her not you....

When i am down i look to Her not you.
I look to Her who gave me love, kind words, had God in her heart and always had a smile and hugs for anyone that crossed her path. She welcomed the hungry, the tired, the lonely and always laid out her helping hand. Who got up at the dawn of day, taking care of everyone, with God on her lips and God in her heart.

When i am down and it's s so easy to be like you...
to be mean, never have a smile, always be selfish, always bothered, always blaming the world, always bitter, always abusive, hitting and pushing so easily came to you. Blamed us for being born, for being in the way, for even wanting to please you.

When its so easy to be like you, I choose to be like Her not you.

Now you're old and you want to change. For her i forgive you, that's what she would do. But your debt is not on this earth but rather on your judgement day.
When you are asked why you took the easier way to do things, hurting others.

You will be asked why didn't you choose to be more like Her than you.
