Saved Poem by Tobi Adebowale

Saved



His passionate calls I refused
Yet He never cesed
His calls to me were songs
Playing on for me to dance
Not to His adoration
But in drunken derision
His calls came with promises
But I chose worldly fantasies
Yet He kept calling
And I kept dancing.

Like a recalcitrant kid
Ignoring the elder's bid
I chose to dare the storm
And took a bath in the stream
But then
Then
When the storms of life came
Reality dawned on me;
Weighed down by life's tribulation
And the devil's affliction
I heeded His call of salvation
After realising my foolishness
Amidst bitterness.

I walked into peace
And an inexplicable bliss
My rag changed into a bright gown
A smile replaced my frown
And in the Lord's embrace
I perceived unrivalled grace
Then rid of all pride
I begged to be His bride.
