There was a day when I did not see,
I roamed this world searching for peace.
Not a day went by when confusion left,
My sought after grace felt all in jest.
While all seemed as if I'd wander alone,
A friend offered a Savior solid as stone,
I listened to His word as she prayed,
Knowing this is where I wanted to stay.
To my knees I fell crying I believe,
You offered love for me to see.
My heart ripped open and You entered,
Past errors were gone as I surrendered.
The gift of eternal life is now mine,
My new work's to spread Your love for all time.
As my old world passes into new,
I will shout to the heavens for You are Truth.

Hood-Wink!
Such an honest and raw poem ~
This flows so powerfully down the page, it hits my mind and heart swiftly
Just one thing, the black font makes this difficult to read
♥
Stay safe

A Gold Quill, Gold Ink, & Golden Words
This! should have taken the GOLD, my darling sister. It sounds so much like my own story of finding Christ, being drawn to His love. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, you have woven another masterpiece with threads of pure gold, God's gold. I love this poem and would love to see it sent with your 'Obama opinion' for the TSaS broadcast. Ya think I'll get it?
Much love and hugs, SisBon
P.S. I didn't realize I'd already read this, until the system refused my triple applause. So, I must have needed the reminder and that's why God brought me back to your wonderful words.

AMEN!
Ah, my darling Sis, this is such a wonderful testimony and Truth written in your beautiful style. How our Lord Jesus lifts us up and dusts us off, especially more so when we are war torn and weary. This IS a GOLD winner and I know our Father is pleased, too.
Much love and hugs, SisBon
