My Yellow Room

MY YELLOW ROOM

I loved my room,
my yellow room,
as it took away
my morning gloom.

The two green swinging doors
that lead into my room
were so cute to me
as they would swish & swoosh.

I would swish into the closet
and out to my front door.
I would swoosh into my room
and outside onto the patio floor.

My room was very nice
for a young teenage girl,
but I took life for granted
not knowing the Creator of my world.

Not thinking of anything
but me, myself and I.
I would lock myself up
in my yellow room and cry.

Then one night, from a far away country,
two missionaries came into my room.
They shared how God's love
could take away my gloom.

As they sat with me on the end of my bed,
we read through the “four spiritual laws”
and they ask if I would bow my head.
Jesus, will you come into my heart?” I said,

and out of my yellow room,
through those two green doors I swirled,
a brand new teenage girl
trusting in God the Savior of my world!
