Transformed

Re-running a poem from 2012

Sunshine, Transformed

As the sun climbed over my eyes this morning,
My brain sprang alert with questions:
What is my purpose today? Why and how? 
With whom?
What is your will for me today Lord?
I grab for it to transform me, to
Transform this world about me.
In the brightness of this sun,
Can it still be so hard to see?
So far away, I look to see.
The son of man does warm me
As the sun washes over me.
I look to see and then I hear:
Transform me in your light today.

About Tom Bolton

I'm a Husband and Dad, a former Enterprise Systems Manager at the City of Milwaukee, and a Disciple and Lay Servant at First United Methodist of West Allis. As I study the Bible, sometimes I feel moved to work through my understanding by writing poetry. I also am continuing to learn in my dialysis experience and pursuit of a kidney transplant. Sometimes I just feel like writing about something that grabs my attention too.
