A mile from home, he pulls off the road To sit and gather his thoughts Twenty years of marriage, kids and a farm And all the things they bought It's been on his mind for quite some time How unhappy his life has become Day after day, week after week His feelings have started to numb A good Christian man, though seldom at church He whispers a prayer to the Lord To forgive him his sins, the things he has done And this life he can barely afford He opens the glovebox, pulls out his gun And looks at this cold blue steel One pull of the trigger, one second of pain Is all he'll have left to feel Deep in his thoughts, he doesn't notice A man standing next to the car Startled at first, he opens his door The man starts to ask him "how far" He stops in his tracks when he sees the gun And he tells him he means him no harm Just looking for work, somebody in town Had told him about this farm He looked in the eyes of this stranger, unknown And felt the compassion inside The man said "You're troubled, I feel it within" "Your pain is not easy to hide" "Trust in the Lord for what you need" "There's no greater power you'll find" "Death will not be the answer for you" "Seek The Father of all mankind" He lowered his head and started to weep And the pain started fading away The man put his hand on his shoulder and said "Always remember this day" He raised his head to thank the man He was nowhere to be found No sign that he had been there Not a footprint on the ground Now, Sundays he's at church Praying from his heart Thankful that the Lord above Gave him a brand new start. |

Just a kind word, a kind word will open so many doors, including letting help in.  Nicely done! |

Even though you know my feelings I must tell you I enjoyed this. Very well written story and message... "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |
