Poem Title:
Poem
The lost and found all walk this earth. We trudge along till death from birth. At the age of eighteen the Lord found me wallowing around in my misery. I asked for His help and He showed me His love. But when things got better I suddenly had enough. I was bound and determined to do it my way. My lust for the flesh led me astray. I never even knew I was so alone. My heart was so lonely. It turned to stone. Believing my life wasn't as bad as it appears. Lost in my addiction of sex, drugs, and beers. Stubbornly I continued to live the lie. Pretending I was happy with no love in my life. No matter how hard I tried all I could do was fail. I guess I was Jonah and the earth was the whale. Battered and beaten after the world swallowed me. Confused inside the belly. of the whale in the sea. I felt like a captive and I had to get out. Quietly whispered prayers with a head full of doubt. So lost in my sins I didn't think He was near. Softly I said, Lord are you there? And You said, "I'm still here". No longer living the life of a sinners neglect. Your forgiveness is love that I'll never forget. Now I know I haven't been forgotten. Of this I have no doubt. Because the Lord tickled that whale and the earth spit me out. Amen
