Where Are Your Accusers

Where are you're accusers?
I looked around
"There's no one left,
just stones upon the ground

They turned away
and left me, one by one."
He took my hand and smiled,
"Your freedom's won!"

That's how I feel right now,
if truth be told
The moral of this story
shines like gold

I think of those who meant
to cause me pain
they wrote the words
that brought the tears like rain

And though they bowed me low,
I did not break
the test of time I stood
My pride at stake

Where are your accusers?
I look around
there is no trace of them
there's not a sound

and time bears witness
to this age old creed:
"Accusers must disperse...
accused be freed!

Beautiful poem of testimony, Eileen. The grace of Jesus Christ shines as bright today as it did 2,000 yrs ago. Such a gorgeous poem, dear lady. Kudos all the way around. Love and joy to you and yours.

accusers are filled with weakness, they project their hate to feel strength from their rage, which only exposes their weakness, thus their endless circle

Hello, dear....That's perhaps too much to hope for. However....I'm still here...I'm still standing. :) Hugs

Thanks, Rick. I appreciate the visit. We often go through difficulties in life...however, time has a way of proving things.
