Karla.


You lived a life of vice,
You knew no better,
But then you paid the price,
When the highs came crashing down.

If your life had been a good one,
And you didn’t do what you did,
What would you have become?
Would you still be the person we know now?

From the terribly bad to the greater good,
Through Christ you turned your life around,
Your final years were spent spreading His message the best you could,
Until you faced your own crucifixion.

Faced with death you didn’t falter from His love,
But you reached out your arms and gave hope to those that needed it,
Of the love that comes from Christ you were the living proof,
The sinner that was saved.

One day I will meet you at the gate,
And I will thank you for my life,
You taught me to love and not hate,
Your love for Jesus has saved us both.
