WOLF WITHIN ME

Wolf - within me,
Dark & hidden in my blood.
Waiting, stalking, to destroy me.
We alone do battle,
And you so easy overcome me.
Long, empty hours
With only you as companion
. The enemy - never friend!
Yes, I learn from you
How short & precious life is.
I cannot embrace you - -
You hurt too much!
No choice but to accept
That I must live alone with you!
Wolf - within me,
You cause me pain as you rage.
You can hurt or even kill me,
But you cannot destroy me -
My Spirit belongs to God.
I cannot walk in God's sunlight,
But I can walk in the Light of God's Son.
So I am not alone at all -
God is there to hold and comfort me
Against you - Wolf - within me.
