Reminiscing
by louis gander Something way down deep inside my lost and lonely soul - had eaten me until I died of all my self-control. Someone special lent a hand that I did not deserve - and touched an inner fragile strand - a close and tender nerve. I knew not what to make of it - that kind, unselfish act. My knees got weak and I admit - was thankful. That's a fact. And then I sensed a flicker as a flame on candle waves - and saw their bumper sticker that read, "Smile! Jesus Saves!" Then something in my reddened eyes had made it hard to see - when choked, I was, and all my cries came pouring out of me. So stunned in awe, I stopped to think of all I'm guilty of. I know my sin - once set in ink - was wiped away with love. Now, reminiscing has a way to judge my many years - so hymns in church on Sunday's now - can well my eyes with tears. 2013 louis gander ALL RIGHTS RESERVED http://www.ganderpoems.org/ ------- Copyright 2021 by louis gander.
