THE LIGHT
The Light
The light in your eyes is fading fast
Like a bladed glass ,
I try to keep up a good front that
Nothing's wrong ,
But inside my head and my heart
Are constantly fight who's right and
Who's wrong ,
As soon as I feel I can grasp for air
And go ahead and let the pain's run
In ,and accept that you are long gone
I can move along ,
The taste of happiness has faded away
To another place and silence made
Home ,
This feeling that I feel that is holding me
Captive within myself ,
Feels as if someone pulls out the rug.
And I fall off my feet onto my face ,
My heart does feel a beat.
And I have strong faith in you to see
Me through in Jehovah's name,
I don't want to give up , but this is too
Much pain that won't go away ,
This is killing me slowly within why I
Am holding it all in,
But how much can one person take.
I try with all my might.
As darkness try's so hard to fall over
Me when death has taken its course ,
This is not who I'm supposed to be.
I always try to remain bright in the love
Of Jehovah God ;
But this time my heart holds glimmering
Light of a lost life and I must get my
Feeling back right,
So I call on yo Jehovah to let me run
Free until I have finely found me .
And now I am asking Jehovah God
To dust me off from all my sinful ways
And let me see brighter days to run
In the race .
Lilly /Judy Emery (C)
