Mercy Found Me

I was wallowing in weariness and woe, Troubled, yet threading on thorns and thistle; Crying in pains… I was caged in a cruel castle The tempters’ team kept stepping on my tender toe. I was lured to love the luggage of lies. Sin and self soiled my soul with dirt and dross. I kept crawling while I carried the cruel, crooked cross. I lost my sight… I couldn't see the signs in the skies. I lost God’s glorious glee and glow. All hope was lost, I was helpless and cheerless. I was faced with a foe that was forceful and fearless. It was a sour season, I was stained, sick and slow. I went to Calvary and laid down my sinful sack. I rolled in dust and ashes, saying, I ‘m sincerely sorry.. Pleading and praying to get God’s grace and glory. Mercy found me, saved me and put me back on track.

that's one whole LOT of alliteration! God is inside you, forgive yourself, you are judging YOU and finding yourself wanting...and it seems changing? Light & Love

Wow, Adeleke, I wish you had been able to enter my contest. The contest filled up so fast. I hope you will try to write one for my next contest. It is called "Lights Out!" Don't wait too long, sometimes they fill up before the deadline. I've missed a few that way myself. So, I understand the disappointment. Thanks for sending soup mail so I could read this beautiful poem. Nice enclosed rhyme with a wonderful message. Smiles, Dane Ann
