I am truly blessed to say that I came across a really great friend.
This friend told me he can see my troubles and worries as clear as day.
He spoke with such kindness, a kindness I never knew before.
He told me if I would just believe and have faith everything would then fall into place.
Before I could thank him for his kind and generous words he was gone.
I thought how could I believe in the power of a total "stranger" when I was never taught to believe in anything, let alone myself.
This brought about feelings that I alone could never achieve.
Day by day I began to do something that I have never done before, I prayed.
I prayed for myself and I prayed for others.
I felt a sense of lightness come over me.
From then on I knew that everything would be alright if I just believed.
No more feelings of heaviness in my heart and no more worries.
For what is meant to be will be.
