The Valley of the Shadow of Death
I could feel the things that surrounded me before I could see them.
Things that laid and awaited me in the shadows.
They laid there in silence pulling and tugging me trying to beat and get me down.
I was tested...
They allured me to them with all the glitters of life but... without striff
Then I started to see the things that was once in the meadows appear in the shadows.
Love turned into hate
Joy turned into pain
Destroying everything I thought would be gained.
Then without warning a hand appeared and a soft voice followed and said have no fear you have no arrears and delivered me into the morning.
At that moment I was shown I never was alone.
Dedicated to my Mother
