The Bridge From Despair
All lives are exposed to pain and sorrow;
and endless trials, so difficult to bear;
tho we always hope for a better tomorrow;
we often sink into the pit of despair.
Despair is the valley of the shadow of death;
a treacherous reality lacking love or care;
and, before we ever, experience a last breath;
our mind often deigns to take us there.
Despair is the deepest valley of depression;
where we think, nothing matters, any more.
If suicide is the result of such an obsession,
you may be in a new life; worse than before.
When someone succumbs to death’s lure;
those who love them are devastated;
leaving this life early, is never the cure;
loved ones will grieve, till repatriated.
All can escape from the vicious pit of despair;
where they wallow in self pity and weep;
neither wisdom or truth is ever found there;
and, all souls have promises to keep.
There is a bridge, in which all may follow;
leading to freedom and love;
there is no need to lament, and wallow;
faith is the bridge to a garden, above.
Trust in the Master, to become your guide;
you must not remain in total despair;
wisdom and truth stand, on the other side;
faith is the bridge to take you there.
