I Step Into the Dark
I step into the dark with fear and doubt,
the path I take- a foreign, dismal place;
no map to guide my way through twists and turns,
but I will place my steps within the dark.
I ask, my God. Why is my path so dark?
And why must I embark alone in fear?
And why is each step that I take a test?
In this great void of darkness- deep, unknown.
But I have strength and I will venture on-
The past is gone, it dwells in mind and heart;
I have my soul to guide my path today,
and put my trust in me- to guide my way.
