Growing
https://allpoetry.com/contest/2732933-Good
It talks about how I have changed since becoming a Christian. At one time I was nothing short of a jerk. I was addicted to drugs and suffering from a head injury that caused personality changes. I hated everybody, and I did not mind letting you know it. Today Christ is in control of my life and I live to serve others. That is a complete 180 from where I was. Here is the poem:
Preaching and teaching in church
Overcoming obstacles along the road
No anger showing in my voice
No more chasing man from me
Faces are smiling
Mars is frowning as I succeed.
Scything and chiseling the mountains
Cutting poverty and counseling clients
Working and serving man
Growing is the key
Drugs are out of the photograph
Statues and poetry booming now
A veteran breaking out of the clouds
Fog lifting in my brain.
