LIFE’S DARKEST HOUR

In a moment life is put on edge,

All happiness expires.

Every reason for which we lived,

Becomes but thorns and briers.

Our bodies shake almost helplessly,

Although we wish it not.

And all our inner being is clenched.

In pain and darkened thought.

Every favor which is asked of us

Becomes a giant hill.

And all effort to overcome it.

Seemingly would us kill.

We make an effort to hide our fears,

Yet we then become tense.

Try as we might to hide all our pains,

Others at times can sense…

The struggling that our hearts go through

And yet we shut them out.

They reach out a helping hand to us

Yet we avoid their route.

During such times we must remember

Why we exist at all.

The reason why God created us,

And try to find our call...

Trying to know, love and serve Him well

While living on this earth.

Is the only way to find true peace,

And in the next world mirth.

This is only achieved by making

Atonement for past sin.

So, we will surely have to suffer

If heav’n we wish to win.

Knowing this let us prepare ourselves

To fight for the good fight.

And whenever life seems like too much,

Remember - It must bite.
