Renewed Life

It was mid- afternoon and the sun was hot As my eyes searched for a cool shaded spot. But there was none to be found As my feet burned from the scorching ground. It seemed like miles that I had traveled As my thoughts became unraveled. Thinking about how my life had been And in this battle could I win. I lost my job, my house, my family too Walking these streets not knowing what to do. But there was something that for years I had not done or tried As I fell to the ground and began to cry. LORD! My life has become empty and hollow Is this a sign - that with you I should follow? Right there and then a cloud covered the sun When I heard a voice say 'your life has just begun'. Follow this path that I will give And you will see what it is to live ' Then the sun reappeared and washed away all my fears. In its place came relief, and with it a new belief. Of HOPE, FAITH, AND LOVE Given to me from above. I followed his path and spread his word And preached to others that had never heard. In the homeless shelters I found my flock And from that point on - I did not stop. The homeless now have their faith renewed And this was the path that I had to do. I had lost and gave up everything From my old life, and the path I now follow is of paradise.
