I Was Blind

I Was Blind

A Poem by Thomas W Case

Here is a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZptFkj_ezoo

"
Life is about giving
back instead of taking.
I took a lot all my life,
apathetic and selfish.
When I see people today,
they don't look like marks.
I don't think about what I
can take from them.
They are God's handiwork.

Life is strange and short.
I couldn't have caused this
inner transition.
I always subscribed to
morality in theory.
Thank God,
the blind still receives sight.

Sometimes, acquaintances will say
that I've grown soft
as they turn to green Jello, right
before my eyes.

Better to be 'soft' and at peace than 'hard as nails'. As we get older, we realise that the Lord's Work is the true path. Really Excellent ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
