Reborn

From a young age it was said

Into the darkness I was led

With no role model to guide me true

A crooked path I did pursue

Thus a jailbird I came to be

Returning to my cage, habitually

Living amongst a nest of vipers

This is my charge, paying the piper

In that prison-gloom, black clouds did settle

Over my soulless form, an empty vessel

That was…

Until one morn’ as I woke

Crepuscular rays through my window broke

And a voice so warm it soothed my fear

As it whispered kindness in my ear

It was…

The voice of God who had spoken to me

Lifted my spirit and set me free

And now I live without suspicion

As I am a reborn Christian
