Look for the Light

entry picture

 

 I read your poem, a tear past my eye,

The heartfelt words, I cannot deny.

A cry for help, for someone to hear,

Look for the light and take my hand.


Many things have happened in your life,

Some of them happy, some filled with strife.

But when the clouds of the past obscure the sun,

Look for the light and take my hand.


During the day your weary and tire,

Lots of sleep you always require.

But when the tiredness takes its hold,

Look for the light and take my hand.


Deep in the heart burns a fire,

That has forged a love that will never expire.

It burns like a beacon night and day,

Look for the light and take my hand.


Whenever you feel afraid or unsure,

Whenever the pain is too much to endure,

When you feel your mind has gone, and you are not in control

Look for the light and take my hand.


Look for the robin and the raven,

All that you need is there in the Haven.

Look for that beacon that shines from the dark,

Look for the light and take my hand.


And when you look you will discover,

Me waiting there.

Hi Barry. I am sure this poem is very powerful and important to someone in particular and hope they have drawn strength from it. I got some of that sense too. Liked the rhyming structure and the repeated message at the end of each stanza. Thanks for posting. Winston
