i was walking a black, dark, lonely road <br />and the fear inside of me, i'm sure had shown. <br /> then i reached to my neck, and took my cross in my hand <br />and prayed to the LORD above <br />for his guidance and his love, and that i may see some light. <br /> <br />when in front of me a figure stood <br />with a bright light radiating from him. <br />and the road turned from night to day <br />and i was able to walk my merry way. <br /> <br />they said that there was a total blackout that night. <br />and how did i get back, without a flashlight? <br />when i told them, what i had seen <br />they all began to ridicule me. <br /> <br />all the elders from the town <br />looked at me with a frown. <br /> <br /> how can that possibly be <br />when it never happened to me? <br />i am the pastor of this congregation <br />and we have searched for our salvation. <br /> <br />then here you come and claim you saw a light <br />radiating from a figure in front of you <br />and you expect us to believe you too. <br /> <br />are you saying that you're better than us <br />for in GOD we also put our trust. <br />why would he choose you and not me? <br />this is something i can not see. <br /> <br />MAYBE! it's because i was on the road to destruction <br />and this sign was my obstruction. <br />and if that is not enough for you: <br />look at my hand which i held the cross <br />just so that you could see <br />that the sign is embedded in me. ++ <br /> <br />++++++++++<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lonely-road-2/
