Write a poem (or letter) about a turning point in your life 8 months ago
Rerouted attitude from a friendly paragraph...
In a sober group on Facebook-
My friend Lynn had to say,
From a good report God gave…
“The Lord closed your last chapter,
He knew you deserved a better life.
Things happen for a good reason,
Never look back at that chapter,
It’s closed and should always remain closed.
Keep moving forward.
Your future will be fantastic!!!
God Bless”
Again this makes me cry inside,
Knowing people cared,
When all’s I did was hide.
But she’s right and I believe in her-
Words of wisdom for sure do merge…
My direction too where I’m going,
So much love from and for others-
God is surely showing!
My past is gone and the door is closed,
And thanks to her I’ll open it no more!
Creative excitement doing the right thing..
And the only indictment is to live great dreams!
Of course the good Lord is making life better-
For He cut the cords of my chains and feathers!
God gave so much in Bible, Church, and Prayer-
And His great recovery with you I will share!
A wife, a family, and a living society
God had all along, because He always loved me!
Jesus is the door of life and faith He gave is key!
For life is so beautiful, and almost too good to believe!
Therapy even to the young child within,
This mortal body who thought he’d never win!
But He’s made me a winner, and He’s made me free…
Breakfast at his table, lunch, and dinner He feeds!
He lets me go about and do good works…
Sharing with others that have doubt because of pain and hurt!
I get to go to jail and walk right back out,
Telling them of the God who cannot fail, so they can find His route!
I get to go to juvenile and teach them teens how-
To live this life before death bites, and they can see no way around!
Around the Bends that life throws at them-
They can walk straight through- on the path that mends…
Mercy and Truth leading all the straight way,
By God and for you-to see the light of day!
The same Light that guides, leading freedom-forgiving hearts…
To walk right alongside of great living and new starts!!!
… Friends and brethren, mothers, and fathers-and yes of course sisters too…
Go with the light of the right examples…
That God has shown them the way through!
And Yes, God- is Always with you!!!Voting is closed

I love the positivity in this poem! You are so right that God is always with us, even when we feel less-than-deserving of his love. There are times in my life when I feel hopeless, but when I give it to God everything seems lighter. God’s love is truly the answer to all our problems. Thank you for sharing…I needed to read this today!

Thank you Emmy so much 🌹 I promise all of you beautiful people make me cry all the time because of your appreciation. Happy tears sad tears confused tears sympathetic tears etc but they’re all true tears. My dad used to say tears wash the windows of the soul, I suppose he may have been right. So Emmy thank you for helping me clean my soul it really means a lot to me. As you know God is so good and we all need him everyday as the song would say, “I need Thee every hour”! I have been blessed so much to be able to have a relationship with God. My whole entire life he loved me when I always thought he hated me and so I hated him in return, all to find out I was just simply wrong. But at least by now I know and it’s all because of his Amazing Grace and not flattering to say, but, because of people like you too. God bless you dear ❤️
