Come I Can Help You Through This

I'm was stuck in side Just a light flickering The end of the tunnel was nowhere near It was dark and gloomy The silence was unbearable Just the small sound of whimpering Echoed in the distance The waves of trouble and disappear Had washed over me I kept walking Hoping that maybe there would be a light Hoping that I could hear another set of feet next to mine But no one ever came The sounds slowly faded and the light went out I reached the end of the tunnel But nothing was there Just the smell of death lingered in the air And then out of nowhere a hand is extended A voice cries out "come, I can help you through this" I grab the hand and hold fast And we start back through the tunnel Holding hands and taking a step at a time And each step that is taken Is a step closer to the light A step closer to freedom And after a very long time we reach the light The light of warmth, comfort, and freedom So now that I'm here I will extend a hand to anyone That has reached the end of their tunnel And I can be the hand in the darkness that reaches out Saying "come, I can help you through this"
