Notes About The Poem

Revival Back Then

Nine years old 
way back 
seventy-two years ago
my family went 
to church's revival

The speaker was
a chalk artist
he told the story
of Lazarus
and the rich man

I realized I was 
lost,
undone,
without God
or His Son

God reached 
down His
hand for me

I did not know
exactly what 
I had done
I did not really 
understand
but the Holy Spirit
came in
I have wanted to 
live for Him
and He has taken
care of me
