What a Wonderful Day

I had such a beautiful day The greatest blessing that I could have hoped for, came true You guys remember awhile back I was talking about people I had lost But never should have How ashamed I was over it all Today for the first time in 16 years I received a telephone call from my oldest friend and his family I had sent them a Copy of my new Book But finical backing has me looking for a top Publishing company Anyway, that will be what it will be, when the Lord lets me know And he always provides The poem in question ended with, “No matter how many years of foundation love may have” “Addiction will destroy it, it’s the nature of the business” All the comments I got motivating me to contact them I just want to say, “Thank you, for I have them back in my life” That’s what I truly adore about our site Our friend’s depict who we truly are And today a huge piece that had been broken off my heart Was returned and it feels so wonderful I am on such a natural high (Sorry I put my daughter to bed and said her prayers) Now where was I, Oh yes? I had totally forgotten about our situation on the site I read the poems directed at me on the site The soup mail stating, “Your f ing Evil” And I had to laugh because guess what I’ve said that all along, I once was not just “Evil” “I was evil in its purest and most disgusting form” I was considered evil by the most evil That’s why I spent many years in Prison Many different times Those who I truly loved and cared about where all gone Guess why, “Because I was evil” I carried duct tape, empty trunk and a sealed in basement Especially after losing all those I speak of here “Dude, I don’t want to be evil with you” I just want you to treat my friends with respect If you have to be mean and cruel By all means take it out on me I do deserve it Because you’re right, there is evil in me That’s why I write to control that evil And plant the beautiful seed of love It just goes to show, a day can start off so horrible And end up so beautiful When you are living your life with honor and true respect for Jesus I may do wrong, but at least its for the right reasons This was my brightest day of Recovery People, places and things That goes both ways I reckon That is what Recovery taught me today May the Forest have a beautiful rainbow over it? May Angels speak deep within the spirit of its soul? My God what a wonderful day I was allowed back into the hearts of those that I loved And there is nothing on this earth that can touch that

It's so wonderful that you were able to reconnect with old friends and mend fences, Michael. The addiction may have made you feel evil, but that is certainly not the man we see today on Poetry Soup. I'm so glad you sent your book to your friends. I'll be sending you Soup Mail shortly. God bless you, MJ

What a beautiful poem Michael. When we want to do something that is right the devil is always there to accuse us and call us names. Don't forget Michael they also accused Jesus as being evil, don't listen to it my friend you are a new creation, the old things have passed away. We live now in the power of God. God Bless you and your family and may your books be a blessing to His name. Leon
