Walking Alone

I look up, and no one is around me . . . I look side to side and it's total blackness.

Family, Friends . . . gone . . . what's left, is a tidbit of light.

How can I make it to the light when no one is with me?

I yell, "JESUS!!!!!!!!!!" . . . silence

The dream, stretches far away . . . if I could only grasp that dream. If I could only be near it one day.

The journey; is hard. I have already hurt myself along the way.

"JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!" . . . it is still silent as the grave

When is help going to come? I feel so alone! My people so near betrayed me.

But I hear something . . . someone's footsteps . . . a strong hand grabs mine.

Someone is leading me through this valley, this stench hole, this abomination.

The light they give off is so strong, so I close my eyes for I have been living in total darkness.

Soon I open, one . . . then the other . . . and before me stands a man, a man whose face shines . . .

"Why Jesus!? Why didn't you answer when I called?"

"I did answer you my child, I came and delivered you, I heard the first time when you called. You were never alone; you chose to go by yourself and didn't want my help; but I am always with you"

We reached the end of the valley, the end of the darkness, the end of the struggle.

"Jesus, let's walk together forever. I don't like walking alone"

Jesus looks down on me gently, and smiles . . .
