Resuscitate Me
Like a horse without a name
A rider on the shore
I pretend to know my way
But how can I be sure
When all around is dark
And the future seems so grey
Using the rear view mirror to
Guide me through each day
With one foot on the ground
And the other hanging limp
I navigate my course
Like a sinking ship
Drowning in the pain
With no one else to blame
My sorrow and my shame
Came crashing down on me
Like a wave upon a rock
With one leg in the past
The other running fast
On wounded knees I stumble
With every step I take
As I struggle to exist
You unfailingly insist
These burdens were never
Meant to bear alone
I choose to have no fear
with a future still unclear
and as I let go………..
You gently take the lead
And in a moments time
Like a renewing of the mind
Your peace and comfort
Resuscitate me
