It was dark
Not dark that is visible
But dark within
This dark taints the light outside
And blinds one to the things that fight
For them
It was then that I remembered the words
"A promise from the shadows shall spring"
But there were times that I was too blinded
By the sadness to see the promise
And then one day there it was
Friends who would stay closer than a brother
Family who could love me like no other
A maker who cares about every fiber of my being
There's hope I screamed!
I still get blind sometimes and forgetful
I still choose to ignore the promise because
Hope is hopeful and hope is scary
Hope means investment
And investments can return empty
But I know where my greatest investment lies
And no moth or cockroach can reach it there
Because my heart is stored in heaven
And my Great DEFENDER guards it there
