Notes About The Poem

February 4, 2025, placed 8th in Brian Strand's Choose A February 2025 Posted Poem

               *****************************************************************************

Revival

When he ceased to pray,
he floundered and lost his way
in a world gone gray.

Then he turned his back 
on church. Of friends, he lost track,
and gray turned to black. 

He cried in the night,
"I'm to blame for my dark plight.
Can wrong be made right?"

God's Spirit so bold
revived this Christian gone cold; 
soon life shone like gold.

His faith is now strong.
God helped him to right each wrong
and gave back his song.

Dear Janice, your poem is so wonderful. That is as it should be, from down to high, and staying there. Excellent spiritual conclusion.
