Light and Darkness

Darkness To Light

Hiding in dark places, I can't see the light.
Looking for something, but have no insight.

Feelings of cold seem to have filled my life.
It seems it's been filled with conflict and strife.

I need to remove the chains, ropes and fear,
Does anyone see, does anyone hear?

Give me a sign, a word to the wise.
Will I ever again, see blue colored skies?

You then came into my life without warning,
Is that really the sun, has my night turned to morning?

A word of encouragement, You tell me I can,
Do I have the strength, Is that who I am?

I step out in faith, you said it can be done,
If I just persist and don't quit till I have won.

How do I repay you, what should I do
To show my sincere appreciation for you?

You say: "The price is just this, if you really care.
To reach out to others and with the light share."

I reach out now to those who in dark places dwell,
And show them the light, and your message tell.

I find that each day, the light grows even brighter.
The load that I carry, becomes ever lighter.

Sharing and Caring is what life's about.
I'll keep growing stronger, of this there's no doubt.

Join in the task of making others life's bright
That others may too, come from Darkness to light.
