Jesus Christ

Life ground to a halt
living down a dead end street
where there's no sunlight
and shadows of doubt linger...
Till your love blew them away.

God's love can blow away all shadows of darkness. It can fill an empty heart to the brim ! You searched, you found and you conquered! Be blessed Harry!

So many distractions, it's incredible when you think about them all and how easy it is to be taken by any of them. Our only hope is his love and grace. Enjoyed your poem.
