Drunken Peace Within Poem by louis rams

he gave up his faith in the LORD above
turned his back on the ones he loved.
he felt that the walls were closing in on him
then turned to a bottle of gin.

he always drank himself into a stupor
and he fell down and cut his eyes.
the doctors said he may go blind.

now at a point that he could not see
he turned to his family.

they told him that he allowed himself
to get to this point in life
turned his back on GOD, family, wife.

now if he really needed help
then to pray to the LORD above
for his guidance and his love.

he fell to his knees alongside his bed
and started to pray
and asked the LORD to change his way.
as he knelt there in prayer
his eyes started to clear.

he saw a vision standing there
dressed completly in white
to him it was the most beautiful sight.

he saw hands that reached out to him
and touched his head
as he knelt alongside his bed.

'it said' you have been put through trial and error
and from this day forward, your life will be better.
believe in GOD, as you had done before
and peace and happiness will find you forever more.

and as the vision disappeared
he knew his life he would no longer fear.
