"I Saw The Light"


bar

This poem isn't about anyone in particular. . .
just thoughts on what runs through the minds of
some, who might realize this life style in not a good one,
and won't give them the happiness and peace they are searching. . . .


I Saw The Light!


Sitting in a tavern, not too long ago
I decided to have another drink
Then got ready . . .  To go


There wasn't too much going on
And I was feeling, a little blue
This scene was getting pretty old
But what else, was there to do?


Watching a couple at the bar
Made me stop and think
Why do people "Party" so hard
Pouring down, drink after drink


Why do they make like a "Fool"
Staggering. . . to and fro
Then try acting, like their sober
People aren't blind. . .They know


The bartender handed me my drink
I paid him, as I stood up to leave
Aware now, of darkness all around
It really began, to make me grieve


I realized I wasn't happy
In this darkened dreary room
Even the music playing . . .
Seemed to cast a certain gloom


I felt a weight lift from me
Realizing, this was no life
I couldn't leave quick enough
To go home, to kids and my wife


Then I said a silent prayer, to God
For opening my eyes, to what is right
I left that tavern, never to return
Praising God . . .  "I Saw The Light!"

Psalm 101:2
I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way.
Oh …when will thou come unto me?  I will
Walk within my house with a perfect heart.
