A scrabbling for the rest...<br>But finally I couldn't find the words that made me blessed! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then anger flooded in my heart! A river full of rage...<br>Although I tried to make a start, I hadn't filled the page...<br>I prayed to God! 'Please help me, Lord! Don't let this poem fade!
