he gave up his faith in the LORD above <br />turned his back on the ones he loved. <br /> he felt that the walls were closing in on him <br />then turned to a bottle of gin. <br /> <br />he always drank himself into a stupor <br />and he fell down and cut his eyes. <br /> the doctors said he may go blind. <br /> <br />now at a point that he could not see <br />he turned to his family. <br /> <br />they told him that he allowed himself <br />to get to this point in life <br />turned his back on GOD, family, wife. <br /> <br />now if he really needed help <br />then to pray to the LORD above <br />for his guidance and his love. <br /> <br />he fell to his knees alongside his bed <br />and started to pray <br />and asked the LORD to change his way. <br /> as he knelt there in prayer <br />his eyes started to clear. <br /> <br />he saw a vision standing there <br />dressed completly in white <br />to him it was the most beautiful sight. <br /> <br />he saw hands that reached out to him <br />and touched his head <br />as he knelt alongside his bed. <br /> <br />'it said' you have been put through trial and error <br />and from this day forward, your life will be better. <br /> believe in GOD, as you had done before <br />and peace and happiness will find you forever more. <br /> <br />and as the vision disappeared <br />he knew his life he would no longer fear.<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/drunken-peace-within/
