What
if that
had been me—
raised from death
at an early age
by the master Christian?
How would the rest
of my life have unfolded?
Could I possibly have returned
to old ways, unchanged?
Indeed, I have been raised!
The Christ has touched me
when dead in sin,
when lulled to sleep
by personal sense.
The call
was irresistible:
Awake to the strength
of Love's pure power.
And having once responded,
I found
there was no
turning back.
