A Poem

Truth

In the journey of life I came upon a space

which rudely held for me, an agonizing place.

After searching I found piece of solid stone

and a note that read, “Make something of your own”.

It stood so large, yet devoid of all remorse.

My hammer made no cracks, regardless of its force.

After hours of failing, I laid down my tools and asked,

“Why oh why, was I charged with such an impossible task?”

“This stone is meant for changing, but not the kind you seek.”

“For you should know by now that perfect cannot be tweaked.”

“Perfect?” I doubted,   “So then what would you have me do?”

“As it has done to the greatest of us, you let the truth mold you.”

“Truth?” I scoffed, “A stone so ugly couldn't hold something so dear.”

“If you look with the eyes I gave you, you’ll have no reason to fear.”

Then I saw a beauty that caused a change deep inside my heart,

for when seen through Godly eyes, the truth makes all into His art.
