Who I Met Upon The Shore- a poem

Upon the misty sandy shore 
The waves dance light and free
Along my tracks upon the sand
A man had greeted me.

His hair was long and flowing
His skin golden from the sun.
He smiled with peace 
And said to me, 
"I am the Chosen One."

I could feel my 
Heart was racing
My knees had shook like fear.
I found that right 
Before my eyes
The Son of God appeared.

But He reassured me.
He said, "Do not be afraid.
I am always here beside you.
Just follow what I say."

Then Jesus gently  
Took my hand 
As I was led to the tide 
We knelt upon the sand.

We prayed unto the Father
For the Holy Spirit from above.
He asked that 
I Receive the spiritual gifts
Of Wisdom and of Love.

Then He filled 
His palm with water
Baptized me with 
His very Hand.
And said, "Go and tell about me
In every part of land."

I responded with elation,
Not knowing what to say.
Yet I realized 
That Jesus is the Truth,
the Life and the Way.

Jesus is there beside me
In joy and all through pain.
I know that through my faith
He will be back again.

So I ran across the Shore
With the Holy Spirit 
In my Heart.
Knowing that my Lord
And I Will Never Part.
