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
