 Poetry by Russ

Angel of Mercy


Once I was slowly walking
Aimlessly, listlessly away from the light
Wounded and heart breaking
Pursued by the night

I could not help myself
My spirit sad and dismayed
I had faith in just one thing
So falling upon my knees I prayed

“Father I am lost and confused”
“Knowing not which way I trod”
Twas then I heard a quiet whisper
“ This way to God”

 Then I lifted up eyes
My broken heart to see
The Angel of mercy
Smiling down on me

Hand reaching out in compassion
A smile upon her face
She turned me around gently
My steps to retrace

She began to heal my heart
With words of comfort and grace
Using words of compassion
To dry the tears on my face

Now beside my Angel of Mercy
Heaven's almost in sight
My recovery is complete
I have found the light

Russ
