A Word From Yesterday

Grace, she had deemed absurd, 
she fought memory's bluebird, 
 a voice she'd forgotten, 
misty conscience was blurred.  

A teen peer-pressure nerd, 
shadows posed by the herd;
 their gray counsel gotten, 
crimson standards deferred.

Tempest on the shore incurred;
Temptation to give in spurred;
 Love shouldn't feel so rotten
The Spirit’s leading now preferred.  

Voice on her shoulder heard;
more mature musings stirred,
 Harvest of thoughts begotten, 
yesterday's yardstick - God’s Word.
