Poem Title:
Poem
He was a child Dark hair, blue eyes Smiling, laughing, delighting He tried not to cry While pain was absorbed By his heart and soul He invited the fear Crimson shadows, doubts Despair and hollow feelings When life turned to dark His light turned down, reflecting All the silent sighs, the blend… Of isolation, remote depression Flowing in the veins Where the needle sent its flame Edging him from the reality, Where pain wove its way through, His heart and soul, his joy Went cold, where he learned to turn The fear into laughter, The sorrow into a smile… The darkness, faded beyond the ache Where his love was once so sure, Where his heart had once been pure As his blue eyes, lost in calamity, Found a way to twinkle, Even as the hazy burden of woozy days… Changed from hope to useless, When he became the statistic, Addicted to the prescription, proof… He was a child once Dark hair and blue eyes, laughing Smiling, sincere…. Then his pain came to seal His fate, addict In need of saving…. Only God can change him From dark to light, From wrong to right, From abusing – using… To the hope of one who sees Despite the pain and fear, There is a love so sincere… It is love that can restore joy Back into the soul who is lost, Love that saves despite the cost! This is the love that comes from above Love from the One who died on a cross To silence the fears, restore the hearts To those who believe… No matter how we grieve, His love can bring true peace. Yes! His love can save me from me His love can save the addict Silence the craving with an amazing… So amazing – I’m forever praising The One who came to save me, The One who made a way for me The One who will make a way for the addict, And the liar, the thief, even the killer… Because He is love – He’s the hearts best defender He saves the worst of us Because He is the greatest love there has ever been He is the One who lived without sin, So He could save sinners from eternity without Him!
