One More Step... Poem by Trevor Schulte

Broken and bruised
you walk with such great intent
Breaking all the lies
that form your path; you stand.
You better your stride
as the walk goes on
with His light leading you
to the breaking dawn
Oh the pain you must feel
with each and every step
as you fall to your knees
without a breath left
Holy your heart has become
to the Light that paved your way
as your sight was distanced
with such aggravating pain
His promise has held your pace
becoming the one oasis
in this life race
But oh how the great the feeling
as the living water
streams down your throat
Your almost there
with calloused feet
that force you to walk
on your knees
As the light grows dimmer
you see but another shimmer
a moving light that is coming near
as your motivation seems to disappear
But wait, could this be
is it the One who signed
the heavenly decree
He who put Himself on a cross
and whose signature was His own blood
maybe you could see better if your eyes
weren't in a tearful flood
One more step
to end this fate
with one more prayer
before Heaven's gate.
