I have one month to decide if I want to keep this blog going the way it’s going now or end it. I love the look and the layout of my website and I enjoy posting new and old poems, but I don’t know if it’s worth the time and money to continue running it. There are cheaper platforms out there to run a blog but with fewer bells and whistles. I doubt I’ve sold any books on here but that isn’t the only reason I started this blog. I simply like to share my work with the world and hope it touches someone’s heart. I’ll continue to pray about it, and I’ll announce soon what I decided. I hope you all like this poem and feel free to share it on your social media. Thanks for reading!
The Fight
My life became chaos when I wandered off its course
Down a path of misery from a road of remorse
While stumbling through this darkness and itching to fight
I came upon someone who provided me some light
As soon as I could see I saw he was a king
and in my drunken stupor I chose to take a swing
Although I looked foolish I fought with all my might
Until I gave up to his majesty’s delight
Tired and defeated I kneeled before him
And waited for my punishment to surely begin
But instead of being punished he showered me with grace
When my eyes looked upon His glorious face
He gave me a lifeline for me to take hold of
One full of mercy and never-ending love
Old things have passed away and now all things are new
and what he did for me He wants to do for you
Ask for forgiveness and turn away from sin
stop battling the bottle you’re never gonna win
If your life feels empty and looking kinda grim
Turn your eyes upon Jesus and surrender to Him
