Notes About The Poem

Just a newly written spontaneous write.

As Long As I Can See the Light

As long as I can see the light 
I know that the sun will end the night,
I know that a paradise waits for me
If at the end of a tunnel light I can see.

Oh, the night is long and the wind is blowing cold,
Relentless time speeds from young to old
But I’m determined to keep hope shining bright
And this will provide me with my inner light.

So in the darkness I stretch out a trembling hand,
Reaching out for someone to understand
That tonight I feel alone and in need of a friend,
I’m praying I don’t weaken, I’m praying I don’t bend.

I can feel a warmth start as my light begins to glow,
Answers to my many questions I don’t yet know,
There’s no map to guide me and no route planned
But I’m sure the Lord reached out and touched my hand

As long as I can see the light 
I know that the sun will end the night,
I know that a paradise waits for me
If at the end of a tunnel light I can see.
