Answered Prayer Poem by DOMINIC PREMPEH

I had lived the lives of others
Walked under their shadows
Studied their theories
And practiced their principles

I wanted a second of my own
So to them I would never again owe

Strengthen my soul
Mother Nature
Lead me to my goal
And let me reach the future; my prayer

I needed a healthier life
With a little wealth

Granted

What good could I boast of?
Nothing!
Yet, God
With his abundant Mercies, grace and compassion
Through Jesus the Christ, saved and shielded me
From shame, destruction and eventual death

I am never better than the people I see suffering
But I am still alive
Healthier and wealthier and still kicking
Because of a blood

Not an ordinary blood
A blood with weight
Thicker than any fluid
And heavier than any object
That is the Blood of Jesus
