Love Poem: When, Then -

When, Then -

When your world falls apart.
When closed love rips your heart.
When sorrow comes to stay.
When all hope looses way.
When your thoughts go awry.
When you wish you could die.
When confusion comes to play.
When brightness leaves each day.
When clutter wins the fight.
When order looses sight.
When disaster takes its place
When you want to stop the race.
When troubles overwhelm.
When no one is at the helm.
When anguish fills each thought.
When you lost what you sought.
When bizarre thoughts are said.
When theres rumbling in your head. 
When you don't know what to do.
Do not tell your God adieu.
Call upon His name.
Continue in life's game.
When you wish that you were dead.
Remember what He said.
He died to save your soul.
Make eternity your goal.
Regroup; call on His love sublime.
Then, peace will fill your time.
