A Country Preacher
by Beverly Pearce
A seed was planted today
This i know
By a country Preacher
And a new brother strong
Into boys hearts who Somehow lost their way
Their mama's taught them
a long time ago
About God's love on Calvary
But a few wrong turns
Away from the Cross
Left them to bear
Life's burdens all alone.
A seed's been planted today
By a Country Preacher
Whose been down their road
A road of confusion
And unhappiness
A road of darkness lives
Where there is no rest
With the Preacher
A new convert came along
He did not HIDE his light
Nor wait TOO LONG
Only time will tell
Where that seed will go
Mothers, let us pray
It will explode and bloom
Thanks to a Country Preacher
In a lonely room
this Poem hangs in the library of Don Holder
Minister of Alcohol and drugs
Boone, North Carolina
