THE BOLTED DOOR

My mind told me that only

death could loose……

My burdens, grief’s, life’s

crippling noose.

It’s not worthwhile,

this struggle's in vain.

You can’t out run nor

endure it’s pain.

You beat your head upon

life’s “bolted door.”

You cry out “Lord,

there just has to be more.”

And he answers “Yes"

across the fine line.

Just place your hand

Iin the palm of mine.”

“I’ll lead you on into

another realm….

One of joy and love that

will overwhelm. “

“I’m the truth and the light

you are seeking for.

I AM the victory side

of that bolted door.“

“I paid a dear price to

hand you the key.

You’re saved thru the blood,

by accepting me.”
