And reality stared at me <br />When Jesus nabbed me <br />Like a petty thief <br />In my reckless dash <br />To dine with the devil <br />Sans long cutlery <br /> <br />The life I live now <br />Beyond a second chance <br />Isn't mine <br />But a gilded gift <br />Undeserved <br />Offered me on a gold platter <br />By the affectionate Saviour <br />That snatched me from a pit <br />Deserved <br />Romancing the devil <br />On whose highway I cruised <br />Stiff-necked in foolishness <br />To his palace of fire <br />A reserved hot home <br />Eternal <br />For the damned <br />As I was <br />But now I am saved. <br /> <br /> <br />(C) Chris Jibero.2001.<br /><br />Chris Jibero<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/brand-new-life/
