New Within Poem by Danny Speicher

Shackled in bondage and fearing more pain
Not believing freedom would come again
Remembering not to tread where I've been
Hate clothed in love left a permanent stain

Nothing I could do could remove the hurt
Nothing I could do erased memories
Nothing I could do would, my doubt, appease
So, I settled for a love life, inert

I ne'er saw you coming into my life
Didn't know you'd bring healing in your wing
Or, soothe my weary spirit when you sing
But, healing, soothing, you erased my strife

You've taught me to trust and live life again
Dear, I'm so blessed I've been made new within
