Then and Now

by JLR

Within this crowd there is much grumbling.
I find myself stunned, this event humbling!
While standing in the crowd
feelings pangs of sorrow, I bowed.
These complainers chiding that man.
I wonder, when all this vitriol began.
******************************
Light, so bright, the firmament glowed.
The sight of light from above flowed.
Like the mighty oceans that span the seven seas
His plea, Father forgive them ... weakened my knees,
**********************************
The light of a new morn being born,
shines over yonder hill, that is wind worn.
The trees stretch into this new day's light.
As I knell at this cross reminded of His plight.
************************************
Certainly, I can go about mumbling, stumbling,
tumbling, but I will not! My faith prevents this Self showing.
My Savior still shines His Light, no more self pummeling!
He raised me off my knees, heard my pleas, His Knowing.
*******************************************
'Twas then the sun crested, shining so bright on my life.
Now I am about praying and celebrate the gift He bestowed.
Not one thing can cause me that prior strife ...
I'm a travelin' a different road!
