Troubled Times.

Troubled Times.

 

On the darkest night 

You held me tight

From the very start

You held my heart

Through troubled times and raging storm

You kept me calm, safe and warm

 

A sanctuary for my fragile soul

My sorrow and fears you did console

Gently you held my hand

And helped me to understand

Eased my fears and calmed my mind

With words of comfort, compassion so kind

 

You lead me through the confusion and the haze

On my darkest hours and darker days

Safe from my sorrows, my worry and pain

Through the darkest nights and dreary rain

You kept my troubled nightmares at bay

Until the light of a brand new day.
