Darkness

They sit in the corner by themselves They sit and watch the day turn into Darkness Their eyes glazed over in their head There is a lifelessness within their eyes I am heavy with sorrow within my heart For the battle they fight is unseen It is a struggle for their very life For this battle is not a physical one It is a fight over their very thoughts within their head We want to fix their problems With any means we may know how Yet this problem that they have to solve Is not mended with just a nail Give them all the support you can Let them know how much you care Treat each and every day as if it were their last For only God knows what tomorrow brings And He never tells us in advance He merely shows us all the way Remember what I say to you, heed each and every word Make sure to help and hold them as often as you can And Let them know that they are LOVED For our strength they need within Wait not for them to have that gaze Into the Darkness that they fear For if you wait until that day The battle that they fought has come to the bitter end And the Darkness that they have feared so great Has taken another from us once again In loving memory of Kristen White Parsons who lost her battle June 25, 2022. A beautiful light in these dark times whose fire was extinguished too soon.
