Light At the End of the Tunnel
Clambering through the darkness
Grasping at whatever is there
Heading toward that glimpse of light
In desperation and despair
Stumbling and falling
Time and time again
Focused only on that glimpse of light
At the very end
So weary and weak
Though you must struggle on
As the light is getting closer
It won’t be very long
You know you must continue
Even though it’s incredibly tough
Your body wants to stop and rest
It’s clearly had enough
Determined to reach the light
One step at a time
As now it’s getting brighter
Leaving the darkness behind
The darkness now has faded
You have finally reached that light
It took some time to get there
All is visible and bright
So when times are hard
It’s feels there’s no end in sight
Keep on persevering
Remember that glimpse of light
“There is a light at the end of the tunnel”!
