The Journey

· · THE JOURNEY! By Paul David Powers! In the beginning was the question, what life was all about! Though we often lived in peace, dad and mom would often shout! There was struggle for the groceries, couldn't pay the rent, found two dollars on the street, thankful for some bread. I knew I didn't fit in, was a Bastard's son. no matter what I tried to do, the damage had been done! The Hippie Counterculture, Jesus is the Way, til the pastor he got caught, molested boys he preyed! But the Love of Jesus was something of a need, got married at age 21, preached Christ upon the streets. The Blessing of a daughter could this make things right. The marriage it had ended turned my light to night! I could blame it on the preacher, blame things on my wife, It's never been the same again, an old man this I write! 2/5/2023
