Path To the Light

They were all willing to follow 
into the deep dark wood
Where fear was once hollow
now only hope was understood

Trust began to waver
in water and muck rendered
faith in a leader to savor
a forked road all surrendered

It was obvious how they felt
there was no turning back
Their fate already dealt
perhaps graves for this pack

Nervously prodding the foot path
death could have been their song
Upon seeing light instead of wrath
they were not weak they were strong

so love was born from respect
and friendship molded by fire
they found what to never expect
fulfillment for their true hearts desire

As wooded paths command
through trials they all went
A story of many lives planned
and all emerged heaven sent
