A lone ship in a raging sea
In search of a safe harbour
With hopes of finding a lee
To ride out the cruel weather
Battered by the pounding waves
Drifting, lost, and lonely
Fuelled by hopes and prayers
Faith in the Him, the Almighty
Emptiness beyond the horizon
With ne’er a ship in sight
Wondering if I could go on
Against this brutal might
A test of grit and determination
And strength I’ve never known
Journeying to an unknown destination
A journey I must make alone
A beacon of light appears
A beacon of hope and salvation
But alas, through eyes filled with tears
Tis only a fragment of my imagination
Dare I continue this journey?
Of a life that must go on
A life of pain and tragedy
Wondering what lies beyond
With newfound strength….a direction, at last
And a dauntless will to go on
For life’s too short to dwell on the past
The darkest hour is before the dawn
