Family Restored Poem by Danny Speicher

Family Restored



Once, while walking down an old beaten path
Pondering a family once bestowed
But, once, a cursed word incurred their wrath
So, lonely, strode I upon that rough road

Yet in the midst of the darkest of nights
Sat, above the cloudy heavens, I Am
Who came to earth to take on hurts like these
To bear them as our sacrificial Lamb

Time went on and human hope soon faded
Of ever regaining what I had lost
How quickly humankind becomes jaded
When upon life's rocky roads we are tossed

Yet in the midst of the darkest of nights
Sat, above the cloudy heavens, I Am
Who came to earth to take on hurts like these
To bear them as our sacrificial Lamb

But, the cancer remained under the skin
Faith in forgiveness, silently killing
Forgotten, yet growing deeper within
Needing mankind's forgiveness, God willing

And, even when the hurt had been repressed
Still, at times, the heart was strangely depressed
Until that day forgiveness was granted
A loving God grace for fear supplanted

And in the midst of the darkest of nights
Sits, above the cloudy heavens, I Am
Who came to earth to take on hurts like those
To bear them as our sacrificial Lamb
