A Dark Path

Your darkness holds my fear,

because ...,

it doesn't allow me to see 

what stands in front of me.

Be brave you say,

oh no, i think that i'll just stay,

but then how will i ever see the light that is sure 

to come beyond this dark fear?

So then i walk..., 

not fast, but carefully, i will step thru your darkness, 

still a coward. 

i will step and step again into my fear that i hold so near 

and dear to this blackness.

I will step without courage, i will stay afraid

as i walk thru this dark pathway,

never knowing but always hopeing 

to see the light...,

because, i love you God
