Walked the beat for years

before the shooting

a mixed up affair

and now a new role

a mall cop – a private firm

helped me be alive

again. I thought he had

a weapon – poor

judgment they said.

A family in shock

helped me get

back on my feet – forgiveness

the law of faith. And I

know my God understands.

Very powerful. The transition between the law and the law of faith is deftly done.

This little nugget challenged me to step outside the barbed wire  and allow one's bruised mental state to begin a meaningul return journey. Thank you for the cherries and the encouraging words.
