(not sure if i've given you all this one, still gotta go through all of my poetry posted and keep a list of what i've posted here)


There was a wall
I'd built it all myself
But what i didn't realize
not only would it keep others out
it was so high and strong
it also kept me shut in
I'd tried for awhile to fight my way over the top
Eventually the darkness and oneness became comfortable
So comfortable that i finally gave up
At times i could see a light shinning in
And this light gave me hope
I began to watch for this light
Somedays it was brighter than others
And then finally the wall began to fall
Ever so slowly, brick by brick
Somebody was breaking down the wall
The wall that i'd worked so hard to build
At first i was frightened by this idea
I didn't want to let anybody in
But with the light there came a voice
He was proclaiming peace and love
And as i began to listen
I noticed that my wall was begining to fall even faster
I gave up trying to re-build the wall
I began to enjoy his words
And every day the light seemed brighter
One day i woke up
And a voice asked me if i'd like a way out of the dark
At firts i wouldn't answer
A way out?
Would i still be allowed to live in this man's light?
As i listened more
I noticed something for the first time
A hand was held out over the wall
As if He'd been reading my mind He answered
"It's been there for you all along my child,
It will always be there
Take hold, I will help you into the light
If you hold tight you won't live in darkness again
And when you get to the end
I will be there waiting for you"
Such an inviting offer
It seemed, almost too good to be true
And as i kept listening i felt drawn to this man
This wonderful man who'd fast become a friend
And as i finally took hold of His hand
I realized that this man who'd brought light, peace and love into my world
This man who offered me a way out
This man was more than just a friend
He was also my saviour.
