Metanoia

Sometimes metanoia is inevitable

And happens suddenly in life

Learning to embrace it

Helps one conquer any strife

Although we may question God’s actions

And may find it hard to cope

We can see that metanoia is possible

Through a story called New Hope

Michael is new in town

He must adapt to new surroundings

His attitude will not bring him down

For he knows God runs this town

Chase’s death was a tragic accident

That has caused great sadness

Especially in the hearts of Jasmine and Lucas

Who are trying to find answers through all the madness

Michael attempts to make peace

But Lucas continues to refuse

He questions God’s actions

And feels utterly abused

As time goes on, Lucas experiences metanoia

During a basketball game

He opens his heart God

And decides to leave behind his former acts of paranoia

Jasmine also finds healing

In the warmth of Michael’s heart

By learning that she is forgiven

And is given a fresh start

So embrace the change

And do not be afraid

For God has a plan

Which, in the future, will be displayed
