Lay It Down Poem by DAVID TERRY

Lay It Down



For too long it tortured me
You see
The guilty
Is free

For too long I carried it around
And found
Was astounded
By the sound

Of breathing a sigh of relief
No grief
The thief
Made disbelief

The hallmark of my shame
And blame
The game
Always remained

But I laid down my guilt and walked away
That day
I prayed
Then stayed

Gone from the burden of the hurt
To assert
Now alert
This convert

Letting go of the guilt and pride
Held inside
Free ride
He died

To save me from the past
To everlast
Life recast
To outlast

To outlast the guilt and pride and shame and hurt which I laid down so He could take it away
