I was lost without guidance

Wandering down an endless road

Hopeless and confused

Straying farther and farther from the path

I heard your voices

In the thick, dark woods

But chose to ignore

Over and over again you called out

As I went farther and deeper in

Then I fell

Trapped in thorns and vines

Held by my own mistakes

And you reached out

Cut the entanglements

Lifted me up

And welcomed me back

I wouldn’t be here without you

I’d be consumed and alone in the darkness

You gave me hope

Strength

Love

Family

You led me into the light
