trials.

the life of a human being seems like such a terrible battle, with all the suffering & anguish, no cages seem to rattle. we fight our way through daily life, a struggle to survive, whether it be work, the law, or with family that we strive. endless millions everyday, die a tragic death, expiring, ended lives, taking their last breath. we suffer and we struggle in a hopeless war we fight, seeming to us that we walk in endless night. looking for a light to guide, a place of peace and rest, a place to lay our burden, after we've passed the test. we wonder as we look around, why people have to die, cause no one likes the sorrow held in the word 'goodbye'. but look around, be strong of heart, take hope, and do not weep, cause as you embrace your dreams tonight, the angels won't sleep. we have our lights, our guiding stars, and if we choose to see, those who lead us on and guide us, and teach us to be free. without trials we cannot grow, we can't let our light shine, if we don't learn what evil is like, then we can't know divine. so though i am but a candle, a small and flickering flame, if i rest in God's hand, i can offer glory to His name. and when the storm is all over, He'll help me to shine so bright, and maybe even shed a simple, humble candlelight. wind & rain, joy & pain, it all helps me to be strong, and though i know that i am weak, with help i can't go wrong. knowing that the storm will pass, and i will still remain, all the joy, love, and happiness of life i will regain. so do not look at life as though you're alone at night, for though you may not know it, you are someone else's light.
