On Bended Knee

As I find my way to my knees tonight
I reflect on a time filled with fright
A day I found no reason for a smile
One where a block seemed to be a mile

I was lost and without much hope
Living each moment only to cope
I refused to see the miracle of you
As I rushed around without a clue

In a moment when I needed you most
I was invited by a friend on the coast
Her words may not seem much to some
Just enough for me to finally succumb

In just a single line in a letter of reach
She found this soul in which to teach
As blind as I was to all I knew was there
She took her belief and decided to share

So now as I get down on bended knee
I ask in prayer this little heartfelt plea
A heavenly thank you for you to send
To BloomingRose...my spiritual friend

Mark Bohannan

*Deb-Just a little thank you from my heart
for showing me that it is never too late to
find the path to God once again.  


If you find yourself stranded in a storm
...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together

Mark; How wonderfully blessed you are that God sent His lovely angel, Bloomingrose, to bring His miracle of Love into your heart. Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Ellie-I am indeed blessed to have had her take the time to bring me back to what I knew was waiting but didn't have the courage to do on my own.  Everyday that I give thanks to God it is giving her thanks as well and I just wanted her to know that I have not forgotten.  Thank you so much.

Kathleen-Thank you dearly.  God bless you and all of us here within the walls of Passions.

Mark~ Sorry I missed this. I have been sick for a few days.
You are right...it's never too late to get on the right path. No matter how dark the road, God will shine a light for all to see and find the way. It's not always easy, but it's there. God loves you so much Mark, a pure unconditional love. He knows even this very moment what you need and will be there. Sometimes in prayer, we need only to call out his name.
Jesus will be there.
Very heartfelt poem. Thank you, Deb

Strangers
Nobody knows we love
I catch your eyes in the dark
One look relives the memory
Remember me
The way I used to be
