Walking dark corridors ...
tripping on life;
courting insanity, evil and strife,
wearing dark blinders, I sink in despair ...
blinding self-pity! Does anyone care?
and death ......
not a foe to be driven away
but the last earthly debt that we each have to pay!
Then God sought my heart, and it's mended with love
of my life, He's a part, I have light from above.
My corridors are no shorter ... but an easier task,
with God as my Guide, for His hand holds my staff.
