A sea of darkness surrounds me
Waves crash on all sides
I am up to my neck in pain
From the suffering i see and feel

I look around for escape
There is a light far away
I deny it and go my own way
"It's a trap" i say

I wander around
For days, weeks, years
I always see the light
"Maybe it's truth" I say

I swim over the seas
Of pain and misery
It drags me under
And the light is lost

I spin in circles
Under the waves tha crush me
Looking for the surface
I brake it

Gasping for air
I see the light
Flashing like a beacon in the night
Pulling me toward it with its beauty

I swim closer to the light
And each time I get closer
I get dragged under and away
From the light so promising

I brake free again
Hoping for the light to be close
It is closer than I thought
I reach out and swim

Hope reaches my heart
Renewing my strength
Giving me reassurance and strenght
To swim to the light ever so loving

It comes closer while the sea gets stronger
I slip on the rocks beneath my feet
Rocks. I am close to shore!
I get strength from the light once more

One final push
I make it to shore
The lighthouse is there
The storm relents

The clouds retreat back to the horizon
People are in front of me
With food and water
And a place to sleep

I rest and regain my strength
I wake up to find love and peace
Surrounding me on all sides
Never to be lost again.
 
thank you very much. to be truthful, my grandma told me something. she has said many things actually, lol. but she told me to "write with my heart, and if you ask God, He will give you the words to say." and this "poem" if you will has been how i have felt on many levels with problems with my family. my parents have been fighting, but my dad wont leave us cause he loves us, and for htat i look up to him. and there was jsut a funeral today for my aunt. i didnt know he that much and i really wish i did. we have lived 1300 miles apart and didnt talk much. i miss her, but she is in Heaven. hehe i think i have typed enough here.
 
amen i pray that the lord place your family back together again. Me and my wife are going through our problems and today i was tired of her and told her she needs to leave! was that Christ like of me no.
Your father actions show me that i need to be rebuke and i need to go to the lord to forgive me. I am not giving the full details of what happen but we are still a new couple been married for a year but i got some praying to do. Tell your dad thanks for the inspiration and the being a role model for you and others even when he don't know he is doing so.
