The Narrow road
The darkness is all around me
It surrounds my entire life
I can’t see in front of me
I hold something in my hand
It gives off just enough light
Enough light to get me through the days
I see my feet walking slowly
I see what is in front of me
The light gets brighter, I see a little more
I become more confident in the darkness
A little light goes a long way
I keep walking straight without falling
Suddenly someone is standing in front of me
The light helps me see him
Everyday I see him a little more, day-by-day
Suddenly I realize he is blocking my road
Then one day he is no longer there
He is gone; I am alone in the darkness
Walking the light gets a little brighter
I can see a little more around me
Suddenly I realized he never left me
He is standing right next to me, supporting me
He slowly reaches for my hand in the darkness
As he grabs it the light becomes so bright it blinds me
Our two lights become one in the darkness
Together we walk following the road
Our light keeps us alive and well
The darkness no longer bothers us
We have the light and we have each other
The world is dark but our lives are bright

Although this poem was written for Karson I can't help but realize that me and Karson sometimes are in the dark together and it is our dear friends and family that help us through on our journey together. Our friends and our family are so important to our everyday lives. Sometimes we don't tell you....but you are. You are our light in the darkness.
