“God Gave Me Both Of You” {hair-stylists}
Poem written by: Devon Natasha Roberts
When it comes to friendship, I never knew how it would turn out to be…
Until I met up with a woman who styles hair at a salon at the mall.
The moment I met her… It was bliss.
I managed to meet with her daughter; she immediately accepted me even when I felt like I couldn’t trust myself and constantly had negative thoughts going on through my mind.
I can always get along with them great; which is a huge plus —
I can also joke around and relax; being myself.
Not focusing on the violence which occurs every day.
And at times when I keep going back to her knowing that she could make me feel “cute” and “pretty”, I had the opportunity of spending time meeting her mom for the first time.
Both her and her daughter treat me well with respect and I like that because I already feel that way once I am with the both of them.
Even though I don’t see them a few weeks at a time, I tend to miss their presence… Especially since now they have a second job to do.
I actually feel human when I am with the two of them- Not much of a “robot” due to all the losses and tragedy I’ve been through.
I love them both dearly {including my hair-stylist’s mom}, and that is why I believe that though I may feel sad, alone, and unhappy… I need to convince myself that God brought these two beautiful women into my life —
Just to think to myself that He brought me these women to prove to me that HE sent them so as to pour and allowed me to gain more trust and love into my heart rather than worry about my past.
So, now and forever, both of them are the light of my life.
{Thank you both Tenena and Ramzee for being there whenever I needed you… {(Especially you, “Big Sis”… I love you to pieces.)}
And that’s how come with God’s Grace, He gave me both of you.
-The End
