Light for Life


Life is going nowhere

What is hope?

Do I dare reawaken buried dreams?

Emptiness and loneliness are what I know

And life means death to me       

 

I stare at the pills

But I don't have to take them

The gun calls to me

But I won't listen

The rope tries to pull me

But I resist

The knife beckons me

But it's not my only option

 

Friends cannot be found

But someday I'll meet them

Health fails

But I'll learn to accept it

Dreams, like bulbs

Are buried in the ground

But someday they'll break through the surface

Buds will open, flowers bloom

When the path to hope is blocked

It's found in His life        

Darkness all-encompassing

Can't keep out the rays of light

The path to life seems shut off

But His arms are still open wide

Healing is elusive

But it's found in His wounds

He will guide me in the path of life

For He is my Light

"You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16:11, ESV
