The Dark

I saw the light pass slowly by
While the night entered and took over I forgot,
The reason for being here,
The reason for living.

I felt myself grow slow and weary,
Like an animal… after its been attacked by its predator.
My head started to spin, my stomach felt like a blowfish,
But I kept on walking down the long narrow road.

After a while there was a light at the end of the road,
It looked like a flame but I couldn’t be sure.
I stared hard at the light, trying to decide
Why I was loved, when I did what I did.

I came to a conclusion that they learned to forgive me,
Through the good times and bad,
The language and laughs.
Although I may not be right, but I’ll go with my gut, because I’m learning to be strong.

I’m near the end of the road now and I know what the light is,
It’s my father, my light in times of trouble and my source when I’m weak.
I reached out for His hand and felt the holes under my fingertips,
And I knew my decision, I would keep walking.

Though the journey might be tiring,
The bumps and bruises will cause pain,
And the fall will be frightening,
But I will get through this because I’m gonna keep my faith and stand my ground.

The journey is over now and I still remember,
That time when I doubted why I could have been loved.
I am safely in my resting place and will never forget,
When my Lord carried me through the dark to my precious home in the sky.
