Turning Point
()
About this ebook
Those who are lost in sin
and cannot find a way.
Come read the poems I've written;
come hear the things I say.
They will show God loves you,
He understands your needs.
He'll give you everlasting life,
from sin He'll set you free.
Please read my humble works –
you might find a part of you –
I hope they will encourage
and help you see life through.
We come to a place in our life where we need to make a choice. Helplessness, hopelessness, becomes that heavy load we can no longer carry. Perhaps you need a new direction. The choice is yours, but I hope this helps you find the answers. It might even be your Turning Point.

About the Author
Forever More
I sit dying in each second
because I miss You so.
What can I say to You
that You don’t already know.
I’m proud of my sobriety.
I gave up my evil life
You help me to clean up
all my life of strife.
You understand my darkness
You’re sharing in my pains
You have kept me
from blowing out my brains.
Now I kneel before You
to ask You once again.
That You save me from
this vacant life I’m in.
Take me to Your side
as You done before.
So I can love You
for now and ever more.
Up
Wow!!
Father I’m dumbfounded
by the tolerance You show.
I thought You’d started over
with all the things You know.
I know I’ve been created
by Your tender hands.
You gather me from the dust
You call my name as man.¹
From the start I am a sinner
my will for good is weak.
I know You could stop it all
with just the words You speak
But You have given me
a gift that is my own.
Even as I stumble ‘round
You will bring me home.
Surprisingly I find
forgiveness constantly.
I can’t seem to get it right
yet You’re always there for me.
The amazement that I feel
as I stand and shake my head.
For without Your tender mercy
I know that I’d be dead.
I stand here confounded
at how You look at me.
By now I’d given up
on his failure that I see.
You don’t see this flaw
You see me whole and pure.
You help me walk a better walk
cause that’s what friends are for.

1 Genesis 3:19 paraphrased
God’s eye
I used to counsel all the time
listening to people was just fine.
I tried to tell them there is life
it’s not always toil, and strife.
The only reason I can speak
once I too lived on the street.
I know how it makes you feel
all used up not being real.
