Living the Dream

LIVING THE DREAM As a child, I had a dream To help lost souls be redeemed Now that I'm old, with little to do That dream is finally coming true For years, I was addicted to drink Into oblivion, I began to sink Then by the grace of God on high On His promises, I began to rely Today, my life is filled with bliss The pain and confusion, I do not miss I tell others in an anonymous setting How they can be rid of constantly fretting They can have a life of joy and peace And put their roaming minds at ease The greatest joy they can have in life Is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ What I have described, to some may seem A rather strange and lofty dream But it can become a reality When one knows where they'll spend eternity 22 October 2019 For the contest sponsored by Line Gauthier

An inspirational poem, Curtis, so much better that it's all 100% true. And such great closing lines as well. Hats off to you for your #1 win in the contest with this wonderful poem. Best wishes, Gershon

Gershon, I was anticipating, and desiring, a response from you. Why? Because you are always encouraging, kind in your remarks, sincere in your comments, and I praise God that you are a believer who is unashamed to let it be known. Thank you, my Brother, for this response.

Thank you, Timothy! Coming from you, I know it is sincere. You always are encouraging even in very few words because it is sincere.
