Date To Remember
A Sonnet
Date to Remember
Written: by Tom Wright
2009
On August the twenty-eighth Nineteen Sixty Eight,
on this day God had given me a clean wiped slate.
God had acquitted me from a lifetime of sin,
now under the blood and not remembered again.
It was like a Mulligan in a round of golf,
A do-over in life, causing others to scoff;
Friends had failed to see, that it was nothing I'd done,
I'd merely accepted Jesus, God's only son.
The cancer that previously had body bound,
In an instant was gone and I was rendered sound.
He's positioned in my path those whom I love deep,
Giving me a desire to share and eyes that weep.
He's put things in my heart beyond understanding,
From that eventful day life’s been less demanding.
