Acceptance

Standing there on that crisp, sunny, day,
the wind blew,
the pain went away.
For once, oh once,
she didn't feel.
Because at this time,
she decided to kneel.
Her heart,
filled with so much pain,
all shriveled up like
an old, little, stain.
She gave it to him.
She gave him her heart.
She felt the forgiveness
soak into her,
from the very start.
This was the time in her life
when she actually felt loved.
So, 
she smiled and looked above.
She knew he was watching and guiding her
every step of the way,
and so she accepted Jesus Christ
on that crisp, sunny, day.

Excellent conclusion on this one, with strong pacing throughout, Serenity! Images of faith prove difficult to express; you reach out with clarity and conscious warmth. Great pen! Warm regards, John.
