Searching For The Light

Lonely down the road of sorrow;
Unsure of the route to take.
Desperate for peace and comfort
Through the night I lie awake.

Dark and fearful is my journey
Through the nightmares that unfold,
Long and narrow is the path now
And so heavy is my load.

Suddenly a clear light shining.
A beacon on my frightful way,
Could this really be salvation?
Will my fear be held at bay?

No more blinded by my sorrow
I no longer stand alone,
Hands clasped tight in recognition
Of the Light that I’ve been shown.

Now I travel on my journey
Faith to guide me as I go,
Cradled in a new contentment
Bathed within its afterglow.

My heart, now full of hope and reaching
To the son that slipped away
Whispering how much I miss him
And how we’ll meet again one day.

Floria

Take care,
