Poem Title:
Poem
One day there was an accident, and to heavens gate I was called. As an angel sat down beside me, upon the bed I had been put upon. Such a shining warmth ensued as it held me in its thrall. A thought from God proclaimed, “What with your life have you done?” Then all of life fled past me, but not as I did expect to see it done. For all I saw and felt were things I hadn’t known I had done, and yet… So much pain inflicted to each, with such little words and thoughts. I never would have known such power, by one person, could be wrought. I bowed my head in shame at the pain I knew I could not undo, yet… Suddenly, I found myself forgiven. Yes, TRULY it was true! Hallelujah became my amazed and impassioned cry before him, that night! His warmth had never wavered, nor even his illustrious, wonderful light. How could he forgive me, someone as wretched and lowly as I? And yet, he did… and so he changed my life from then on out. But low and behold he wasn’t yet done with me, or so my story goes… He sent me back to my home again… it in comparison brought me low. But he said my work lay uncompleted, so now I must go back… He said to stay clean and I would blossom… What do you think of that? A veil he placed upon my eyes to remove me from the knowledge of all I’d known. Then he sent me from his side, where I could not see him but knew he was. Now, here I stand before you, a totally changed and humbled one. Still, I have found I have sinned again… I know he must have known. Perhaps some day, as I patiently wait… I’ll be allowed once more within his gate. Only time will tell, as again I’ll feel every ones pain… All I can say is: God Forgive Me… as I continue to wait… (This Near Death experience really happened and changed my life.)
