You Changed Me Poem by SarahLaney Long

My life was going out of control
And I felt like I was constantly falling into a dark hole.
And I couldn't ever climb out because it was so deep in my soul.
Until the hidden truth was told
And at times it felt like my soul had been sold.
Either to God or the Devil, it felt like they both had a hold.

Days, weeks, and months went by
I would change for a while and then my old ways would come back as it they said 'hi'.
And I would be back in that hole and I wouldn't know why
I would look for answers and look up at the sky
Praying for some goodness that wouldn't pass me by.

And that's when I found you
And you showed me the truth
I got hurt and God showed me not to be afraid, because I had you.
We got to know each other and we were alike, us two.
I'm so amazed how God knew...
Knew, what it would take for me to see the truth.
And it was because of you.

You helped me to find God again.
You helped me to not go back to my old sin.
You showed me who I wanted to be like when...
YOu gave me hope, joy, and at times some lovin'.
And I will alwys be grateful for you, my dear, dear, friend.
Thank You so much Stephen!
