A Step Beyond Faith Part 1
Short poem
The Message
Look the lady is pointing the way.
Saying to my son must you pray
My time with you will soon end.
I come to tell you, your hearts must
bend.
The day will come when you will see,
but when you see, to late it will be.
Trust with your hearts and not with your eyes.
Open yourself to my son, as he to you tries.
Fast and pray and pray and fast.
Turn your heart from the now to the past.
There was a time when my son was
the most high in your life.
But now you turn to all this worldly strife.
My son offers love and peace.
He wants his children at that final feast.
Turn now before it’s too late.
A lonely mother and her forgiving son are standing at the gate.

About the Author
My name is Robert LaFleur, I am 60 years old. I became a Catholic in 1986. By that statement you can conclude that I am not a “cradle Catholic”. I was raised in a oneness faith. Some of you know them as Pentecostals. In 1986, I became a Catholic. However at that time, I will admit now, it was not due to the fact I had a revelation about the Catholic faith. My reasoning at that time was because that’s what my new wife wanted. I went to Mass with her for a while but my heart wasn't in it. I was not ready for the commitment required to come to God. So I went many years following, that I never set foot in a church and did my best to not even think about God.
In 2014 a life changing event happened in my life. I lost a son in March of that year. After that (not immediately) is when my true conversion took place. My full conversion story is a story in itself which will be told at a later time.
I am not a professional writer. I write what God puts on my heart to write. I have a blog site if you wish to read some of my writing.
