Born Again Poem by Melvina Germain

Born Again

Dangling on the edge of uncertainty,
held in bowels of despair.
Chasing a never blossoming dream,
stifled by particles of polluted air.

Em-bombed in a chamber of dying flesh,
moulded in societies bleeding doom.
Forced to endure the rules of the land,
shackled in chains by the hand.

Eyes opened to darkness endured,
finding God and the devil in the night.
Reaching out to God the Father,
draw-ed up in a chamber of new light.

Sixty nine days brought forth new lessons,
to a group of tight knitted men facing strife.
Blessings strewn to the deep,
a second chance, a new lease on life.

Hail Mary Mother of God.
Our Father in Heaven, do we pray.
Husbands, Fathers, Uncles, Cousins,
sat with Jesus, by night, by day.


Breathe the freshness of new air,
become entwined in many arms of joy.
Celebrate your new beginning,
may the blessings of new life employ.
