A Strangers Love

“A Journey of a thousand miles, Must begin with a single step.” Lao Tzu “A Strangers Love” By: Tom C. (Tomkatmandoo) © 2015 All Rights Reserved Into the dark I stepped, where the sun shone bright, Walking bleak and endless, I had no strength to fight. The children laughed and played, the park was full of life. I was a broken heart , filled with misery pain and strife. The journey that I embarked upon, with no direction told, Utter despair gripped my spirit, as I continued to unfold. Birds twittered lively songs, me, I could not keep a beat. In this mired muck and mud, I would only know defeat. The echoes of the children, played in unison with the birds, parents gathered as they spoke, I couldn't hear their words. Lying before them, a wasted man, not knowing God at all, Once perched upon my EGO’S stoop, I took the hardest fall. As they spoke, A mans warm hands, gripped my trembling arms, He lovingly lifted me to my feet, as he said I mean no harm. A power surged right through me, bright lights went on inside, I’m just here to guide you son and hugged me tightly as I cried. I opened my eyes to see them gone, less the man who stood in place, He pointed me in a new direction, then vanished without a trace. The long journey that I take today, filled with tears of unbridled Joy, God graciously never left my side, you see, his Love I now employ. All because of "A Strangers Love" Tom C. 2015
