A Tiny Voice

I was walking down a dirt road
Many obstacles passed in my way
Forcefully pulled to the side
Pushed into the darken woods
I knew that I could not stay

But through time I was lost
I felt alone and stranded
More and more I wanted out
But deeper in the darkness I went
Having no idea to where I landed

Everyday was the same life
Doing everything to be possible
But no longer was I the same
Getting worse by the second
My attitude wasn't even tolerable

I asked for help along the way
But sadly everyone was the same
Blind men talking to muted men
Going at the same direction I am
Heading to a sinful growing shame

I heard a sort of whisper
Passing right through my ears
I really couldn't understand it
No matter what I did to try
Completely lost, I fell with tears

I gave up in all there is
And didn't want to continue on
In this painful life in darkness
I wish to go back to the boy I was
But my childhood life was gone

The further I searched for you
The deeper in this hatred world I went
Where brother is against brother
And sister against sister
Looking back, I saw this life spent

To hear that whisper once more
To listen to what was said to me
I know I'll be a changed man
Different from what I am right now
If please open my eyes and let me see

Feeling a tug in my heart
And crying out my soul to him
Throwing myself to the arms of God
Like of that of a helpless child
Asking him to forgive my sin

A love and peace filled my soul
the reason for this poem of life
To tell you God's love for us
That no matter where we are
He died on the cross for our sinful life
