Called

I wrote this on a whim.

 Sometimes I wonder,

how anything could change,
the stress of life,
the whole world rearranged.

Life is up,
life is down,
life is crazy,
like the hair of a clown.

You can't predict it,
you can't see,
how much you really,
mean to me.

Then suddenly a blessing,
from high above,
it quiets my soul,
like the twig of a dove.

From up on the mountain,
a rock tumbles down,
it makes me sigh,
face crumpled into a frown.

I fall into a valley,
salty tears on my cheeks,
sometimes I wonder,
if I’ll be here for weeks.

Rays of sunshine,
shine down upon me,
the chains are broken,
and I am free.

My Jesus I love thee,
for this is true,
my humble apologies,
I believe are due.

I've walked the road most travel,
but now I’ve turned around,
from my humble abode,
I no longer surround.

I'm following you now,
every step of the way,
from endless heartbreaks,
to the beauty of day.

I'll never know,
how much you gave,
but I’ll always try,
to really behave.

My beautiful savior,
this art my vow,
I will follow,
forever and now.

I know it took a while,
you probably wonder why,
and as I tell you,
my soul will sigh.

You see at church one weekend,
I humbly did bow,
I gave my heart to you,
I gave you my vow.

Then years and years later,
when I did return,
at your throne I bowed,
not one concern.

I looked up and heard,
your voice from above,
calling me forth,
calling me with love.

To me you asked,
one simple thing,
and from that humbleness,
my love did ring.

I walked to a trusted friend,
looked him in the eye,
my love for you was open,
though my eyes were dry.

He led me to another,
I looked up to her dearly,
she was soon to be a mother,
and I spoke clearly.

She prayed with me,
one simple prayer,
as we knelt at the altar,
right over there.

Most didn't understand,
the grace and mercy I felt,
when at the alter,
I knelt.

But that didn't matter,
his grace was sufficient,
I’m just so glad,
he's omniscient.

He knew my troubles,
my failures and my strife,
he knew that at any moment,
I could give up on life.

My savior knows now,
my heart is all his,
from one simple prayer,
that I did.

A few sentences and nods,
some encouraging words,
helped me walk the narrow path,
and follow the Lord.

Though I've been saved before,
this time went differently,
I wasn't saved,
but called to Ministry.

I'm.....speechless. It was REALLY good. I seriously have no idea what to say except that I agree with Kayleigh that this was a very heartfelt poem and the words went well together and I can see that you really put your heart into this poem and it turned out great. An amazing poem and I hope that your future poems all come out like this one. Beautiful, simple, and with great meaning to it.
