Mine Stopped, Yours Continued

I was down and out
About things I shouldn't have been stressed about

I was worn
I was torn

I've been scorned
And prayed to be delivered and reborn

I was down to my last
But always remembered that this too shall pass

Standing to my feet, looking to the sky
Mind filled with worries and eyes wanting to cry

Tears were quickly dried
I felt my eyes getting wiped

Reaching down for me was a comforting hand
Scooping me from the sand

Then was when I used my eyes
I watched and realized

That I fell and couldn't get up
You came to carry me and cover me with your everlasting love
