the hand that <br />balled into a fist, <br /> and struck another <br /> <br />man down... <br />the hand that stole <br />the money to feed <br /> <br />his family that was hungry.... <br />the hand that wrote angry words, <br />threw a stone through the window. <br /> <br /> <br />the hand that shut the door, <br />leaving the stranger outside... <br />the hand that tore <br /> <br />down all that it had built, <br />feeling the rage of alone.... <br />the hand that pulled the trigger, <br /> <br />pushed the button, <br />rang the register..... <br />the hand that touched <br /> <br />forbidden places, <br />brought rain from a cloudless sky.... <br />the hand that clasped the other, <br /> <br />kneeling to pray for forgiveness.... <br />just wiped tears from the <br />face of God... found the key, <br /> <br />and opened the door!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/opened-the-door/
