Goodbye Depression

Depression knocked on my door And my lonely self invited her in. I embraced her with a smile, Delighted to have companionship awhile. She sat a moment and sighed, Then forgot her manners and invaded my space. It felt nice when she snuggled close to me So I relaxed and made us hot tea. It was the joyous Christmas season When I welcomed my guest who made herself comfortable. She ruined all desire for festivities, delicacies, and music galore, And stayed so long ‘til I didn’t like company anymore. Depression strolled from room to room. She took over like she owned my humble abode. Helpless, I gave in until I heard a voice from deep within, Whisper, “I love you. I am with you my friend. "Call to me and I will answer you, and show you Great and mighty things you do not know." Energy zapped and mind confused, I cried, "Help God! I'm being abused!" A supernatural power seized control of me And words exploded out of my mouth. “Get out Depression! The God of love has heard my cry.” Instantly, she loosed her grip and fled amid my hearty, “Goodbye!”
