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. https://allpoetry.com/poem/14742277-Growing-by-Chrisbreva1 Third Place (Bronze) winner: October 1, 2019
