SEE THE LIGHT

For Doris

"In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness
did not comprehend it." (John 1:4-5)

Surrounded--
In a fog
 Of pain
  And darkness
I can't see why
 I keep trying,
  Failing,
   Trying,
    Failing. . .

My Lord God,
Help me see
 The light
  Of Your love
And forgiveness
 So I can live
  In the hope
   Of Your Presence.
    For in You

How
 Can
  I
   Fail?
