A Strangers Love
“A Journey of a thousand miles, Must begin with a single step.” Lao Tzu

Into the dark I stepped, where the sun shone bright,
Walking bleak and endless, I had no strength to fight.
The children laughed and played, the park was full of life.
I was a broken heart , filled with misery pain and strife.
The journey that I embarked upon, with no direction told,
Utter despair gripped my spirit, as I continued to unfold.
Birds twittered lively songs, me, I could not keep a beat.
In this mired muck and mud, I would only know defeat.
The echoes of the children, played in unison with the birds,
parents gathered as they spoke, I couldn't hear their words.
Lying before them, a wasted man, not knowing God at all,
Once perched upon my EGO’S stoop, I took the hardest fall.
As they spoke, A mans warm hands, gripped my trembling arms,
He lovingly lifted me to my feet, as he said I mean no harm.
A power surged right through me, bright lights went on inside,
I’m just here to guide you son and hugged me tightly as I cried.
I opened my eyes to see them gone, less the man who stood in place,
He pointed me in a new direction, then vanished without a trace.
The long journey that I take today, filled with tears of unbridled Joy,
God graciously never left my side, you see, his Love I now employ.
