Worn Out Shoes

WORN OUT SHOES

 

My shoes were worn from traveling far
I had been searching much too long
Mmy existence was never clear to me
Tthe paths chosen were always wrong

Life's journey took me many places
Many places I did not want to be
They were dark and full of sorrow
My long journey was lonely for me

After many sad years of wandering
My life was about to turn around
A wonderful young man spoke of God
His words had a kind, gentle sound

My faith in God ended my sad journey
I was searching for God all my life
He has lifted my burdens and sorrow
God has taken my heartache and strife

I live my life praising God each day
God's love has been a blessing to me
My Salvation began when I knocked

God's door opened wide to eternity

    Hi Sis! This is a very uplifting poem. It is so good to hear that you have finally reached a happier place in your life. I'm sure Jason is very pleased. You have a brand new pair of shoes. The 4th stanza says it all:

    My faith in God ended my sad journey
    I was searching for God all my life
    He has lifted my burdens and sorrows
    God has taken my heartache and strife

    I'm so glad that God has brought you happiness at last. It took some time. When you are happy...I'm happy! No more tears! Rejoice!!! ~ Love, Linny
