RESTORATION

It was with standoffishness,
An immature arrogance
That I thought
I had not the need,
And I became wind-swept
Across the barren land of non-belief.

But with my faith redundant
I...a mere mortal
Lost my way,
And even to myself
Became nothing but an unknown.

I have so sorely missed
Having Him to thank
And to talk to.
So many memories
Of Him carrying me
When I was too weak to walk.
I must convert
Look deep within myself
And become again
A child of God.

I stand here
Upon a hill of green
In the shadow
Of a rugged cross,
And I mingle
With others who have a need,
For restoration.

i read several time of this poems. So I have to leave my finger print.

it is a very good one. esp for a sensitive heart who wants to be a better, stronger person.

I love this one.

This is beautiful.

What did you mean by "faith redundant"?

I see something in that, and was wondering if it's what you intended.

Faith Redundant: dismissed, not needed, laid off

Very significant write, dear SPIRIT! Though you have always been and always will be a child of God, it’s your awareness of this wonderful truth that is happily restored.

Enjoyed! Many may relate to what you convey so beautifully.

Love,
Margherita

Loved the last lines...
and yes, we do most certainly mingle
like the Bible says
Birds of a Feather
is so so true

this was tolerant and understanding, yet the pain was most evident within the lessons learned.
