ANGLED SPOTLIGHT

Reality words Standing alone A story told Woes seen Between mysteries after another Circumstances encountered Down to broke Pavement living Cries full of desperation Mistakes that were made Gambling and Drugging No excuses for actions Time passed on and beyond No Family nor Friends support Lonely All alone Winters came Shivering in the cold Roasting in the summer Begging to survive Human rag thrown out Life was no longer mine Who was I? An unknown on the streets As I walked, a voice said “BE STILL AND WAIT” I moved slightly, and the voice repeated, “BE STILL” It was a human voice, but a spiritual one I began to kneel, and gave praise to the Lord Life was starting to change One must believe Blessings started to pour My feet planted on solid ground of a new revelation The discovery with an honor Encouraging words so true being my follow through Pavement no more Living all assured Divine goodness I am the witness The Story Glory

Excellent poem. We all have to hit rock bottom to start the upward climb. Having the Lord to help you is the best way.
