Don't go this Alone

Don't go this alone,

this steep and winding track

with sheer precipice on one side

and rising cliff face on the other.

Don't go this alone,

this stormy raging sea

with windswept white crests

defying gravity

as thick foam flies from ocean currents.

Don't go this alone,

this little quiet life

you call your own,

and protect so fiercely

with all your fragile might.

Don't go this alone,

this time as you look 

out of the window

from your illness bed and wonder which

hidden path brought you to this place of pain.

Let Me in.

Let Me be with you.

I have walked this hard earth,

and have felt the cruel sting of life,

and even tasted bitter death for you.

I am here

waiting

for your heart response,

even if you don't have the strength to speak,

I know what is in your innermost thoughts.

Receive Me into your life.

Don't go this alone.
