The Lesson Learned

I once walked through a door that had no light..
                                                 I awoke on a bed that did not feel right..
                                                  For a time in my life I had lost my soul..
                                           I had forgotten what was real to a heart so cold..
                                                  As time passd I gathered my pieces and
                                                              followed a brighter star..
                                               And was taught a lesson, one moment in life
                                                           can not define who we are..

Sara Kendrick September 17, 2011 at 10:05 AM That is a correct statement but sometimes what happens (especially in small towns)is a person is only remembered in the light of their sin or mistake..Enjoyed reading your very excellent work..Your presence at my work was uplifting..Sara
