Going Back Home
It was a very long time ago, I'd say nearly fifty years
That she had let it all go and began switching gears
Having graduated from college and a successful career
There was no need to dredge and that much was clear
In fact, she never gave God a thought not even one day
She had all that she sought, most things going her way
For life was already great and the need just wasn't there
As in life it was late and this is not the time to compare
A"Catholics Come Home" ad appeared being quick to dismiss
So that screen she cleared and went back to her normal bliss
But then just a few days after that but not on the same site
As there big and bold it sat but for some reason it seemed right
She clicked on and read and something began to stir inside
The complete filling of a deep need that had so long ago died
This atheist of over fifty years had in one fell swoop found God
In hearing so many stories over the years this certainly doesn't seem odd
