Tug of War
The old man fights to stay alive,
The old man doesn't see the light
The two live in the same tent,
The old man will have to go,
The new man has the power to win,
Romans 6:6&7

About the Poet
Christian since 1973, widowed in 2007, but by the divine appt. of God, I married a wonderful, godly widower in Oct. 2010. Three grown, married sons and eight grandchildren. My first love is Jesus who inspires my pen, for apart from Him I can do nothing! I desire to honor the Lord and edify readers thru poetry He inspires.
