Notes About The Poem

another poemfrom my memory bank

A Happening

faith a TESTIMONY

I came to faith 
at forty-eight
      a mid-life crisis
 within my mind
step-by-step
     a staircase I climbed
'til I left
          my old life behind

off the fence
    I slithered down
upon my brow
       doubt bears no frown

each question
        answered     verified
no blind faith 
             with no place to hide

reasoned studied &
           .   empirical
a life-style relevant
 &optical
                          by revelation
             face to face
I stand here still
          ..saved by grace

NOTE TO READER
this proof of election      is mine
In Christ too
         ...it can be thine.
