At The Edge Of Life
I had a very small circle
Of friends that I saw
And I hid like a turtle
When more were involved
I only went out at night
Hoping none would see
The degree of my fright
And the extent of my suffering
I could not smile at all
At anything in life
And I could not recall
When life had satisfied
I sometimes cried a tear
And was very depressed
And I was trapped by my fears
With no means of egress
I had thought of suicide
But I prayed like never before
And God helped me realize
He had more for me in store
