The Steps to Life

 

The dark circled around

life could not be found

he fell to the ground

and knew He was around;

 

Darker and darker the shadow rose

little by litte he did not know,

step by step he was as cold as snow

trying to find his way to go;

 

Day by day he lost his sight

stronger and stronger he tried to fight

trying to figure the wrong from right,

then fell and lost his sight;

 

In the dirt on his shirt

he knew he could not give up,

crawling and crawling is all he could do

then he came upon His shoes;

 

He could feel the grip of His hands

felt his soul raise to the sky,

opened his eyes saw the sand go by,

then looked up and saw God in sight;

 

Held in His arms traveling in His steps,
he laid to rest upon His chest.

The imagery is really nice in this one. Though I don't really like how the first few paragraphs (not sure that's the right term) rhyme so well and then the last ones don't. I have a really tough time rhyming, so I can understand...but it doesn't flow as well as it could if it was all rhyming or all not rhyming. If that makes any sense. Otherwise it's really beautiful.
