After church that night, i had no ride, there were no lights Just walked determinedly... That no harm would accost me That no raindrops upon me would fall Were my prayers, my most fervent calls, I played deaf to howling dogs Never mind the croaking of the hiding frogs I had no cane to wag or shoo away the dogs that followed But i grew cold, I knew they were breathing, these faceless shadows I had no more strength in store But fear melted and came out of my pores I believed, someone unconquerable kept my fears at bay       While a pearly full moon, lighted my way. The road was still long, and sloping And i sensed the rain coming But how could it happen tonight With a moon in sight? For some reason, i looked up and it was gone!   Couldn't see, even a spoon-shaped one There was just a soft beam, Shedding dismal light, it had seemed. And i,  was now catching my breath--- Almost all was hushed by the darkness But, all took light, as i passed by neighbors' houses Under the navy blue sky, the wind gave a not so gentle blow I looked up, saw my pearly moon back...i was led home, by a glow. The glow...His words, shone bright upon me, though i saw dark, the Glow from the Gospel, guided me they echoed that night of anticipated mass: "If you remain in me and my words in you, then you will ask for anything...and you shall have it.."   He kept me safe, and so be it God's words proved so true From fear and danger, He delivered me, He got me through...           (Happened the night of May 2, 2015...)
