Reach the shore...

Each time the sun comes out all happy and gay

You hope that that was the last night coming your way

You pray and wish with all your heart

That somehow you've been blessed with the art

Of solving life, the puzzle as it be

With the things to do and more to see

And yet, cometh the night like clockwork tick

With darkness so deep that your each nerve does prick

You slip into bowels of despair and doubt

And are too scared to even give hope a shout

You know it won't matter much tomorrow

But today, it brings on nought but sorrow

You berate yourself over and over again

To have landed yourself in this pool of pain

Life's taught you well and taught you good

That each step is our choice, as it always should

So why do you flounder and give night the way

To come into your life and cloud the bright day

You know better, you are smarter than this

You did after all figure your way to bliss

So why must you fall into life's silly traps

So that it, in gloom, does you wrap?

You don't deserve this, you are worth more

So hold the boat tight and wait to reach the shore

Where the sun will peep right back up the horizon

And life'll be the joy it almost always has been...
