Redemption by Jim Barlow

Pensive is the mind
In the vacuum of time
When suddenly it hit us.
That four of a kind 
Can look sublime
But all it does is collect dust.

You can never find
The lemon or the lime
When all at once it bit us
The razor shined
 on the Mercury dime
We’re down, and all around are against us.

You’re falling behind
Begin the climb
It’s steep but don’t let it trip us
Let these words remind,
Remember this rhyme,
Let your heart and soul just lead us.

We were once blind
Til God took our crime
Never was He against us 
We seek and we find
We crawl through the grime
Then redemption is there to receive us.
