From Darkness to Light


The darkness seems like too much,

A burden you are forced to hold,

As the days grow long,

And the nights grow cold.

How could you possibly overcome this?

How can you find the light within the darkness?

 

Life a journey through hardship and into prosperity,

From war and into peace,

From darkness to light.

 

The light seems so close right now,

A way for you to finally be free,

As you realize that even the moon holds beauty,

And there is a lighthouse amidst this sea.

You made it through the roadblocks that were in your way,

You finally saw that there is always a second chance in a new day.
