He saved my Soul

I wrote this poem a year after I lost both my parents and turned to drugs to numb my pain and I found someone to rescue me from all my heartache and pain just in the nick of time.

Lying away in the dark all alone and afraid.
As I got up, I looked on the ground where my body had laid.

I saw a image of me lying there; not knowing what it meant.
Looking everywhere, side to side wondering where all the light went.

I stooped down beside my image that was lying on the ground.
Trying to adjust my eyes in the midst of the darkness to see what was all around.

Thinking I was no longer alive, I down on face and started to weep.
Then I tried to wake up thinking I was just asleep.

I cried out Lord I am not ready to die.
Not understanding what all this meant, so I asked the Lord why.

I asked the Lord, please give me one more chance and I made a oath that I will start abiding by his book and always pray.
I did not want to leave this world yet, instead I wanted to stay.

I still had alot more to accomplish in life and goals to start a family and raise kids when I find the perfect wife.

As I was sitting all alone in the dark on a log.
I heard a strong voice echoing through the thick fog.

Suddenly I saw a bright light coming my way.
At first I was afraid but I did not run away.

I felt something reach out and take my hand.
A voice said" No fear I came from the glory land.

I started to tremble with fear.
But then the voice said, "I am an angle and the master sent me here.

As the angel played his hand upon my head,
He spoke and told me that I wasn't dead.

He reassured me that the image I saw of me was the old me.
The new me needed to start all over with trust in God and a spirit filled Christian full of happiness is what I shall be.

The angel took my hand and lead me through the dark of night.
He made all my darkness turn into light.

Finally the angel told me that I wouldn't have to do this alone in the darkness any more.
He would vanish all the hurt and pain and create a new soul that has never been ripped apart or tore.

He will guide me down the right road.
Never alone will I have to carry heavy load.

"Never give up if you lose your way.
Look up to the holy master as you kneel and pray.

Do not let evil of this world torment your mind.
Faith in Jesus; happiness, love, and peace ye shall find.
