Amazing Grace Poem by Uche Nwanze

Amazing Grace

Rating: 5.0


I am in a lonely desert, dying of thirst and I found an oasis.
I was groping in a dark scary alley, and I saw a dazzling light.
I was drowning in an ocean of despair, then I clutched to a straw.
I was suffocating from asphyxia, then I found a breath of fresh air.
I was trapped in this lair of hyenas, your hands broke me out.
I was empty and clueless, then you came along.
I was lost, then you found me.
I was helpless. then you gave me your hand.
I was looking for answers, then I found you.
I was incomplete, then I found my purpose.
I was travelling on a tortuous expedition, then I discovered you.
I was digging for treasures, then I found you.
