*

Though you dwell in bleakness now

The dark your only friend

Don't give in to desperation

With time, all pains can mend

*

From sources unexpected

A flame can catch your eye

To light the way through darkest night

And kiss those fears goodbye

*

The world will turn, the sun will rise

In a sky you've never known

The birds will sing for you once more

With a lullaby of your own

*

Your flame can come in many forms

For me, it was a smile

That lifted me from the depths of hell

And made my days worthwhile

*

Though you dwell in bleakness now

Not knowing how to cope

Your flame will come, I promise you

And light the way . . . to hope

*
