As I Walked Alone…


As I walked alone along the sands of time,
I was trying to wash my blues away,
For every time I was upset or afraid,
The beach helped me through my day.
I would go down and watch the water,
And send my negative thoughts on the sea,
And try to stay focused and strong,
But that's sometimes so hard you see!

So I raised my eyes to the skies,
And whispered to my God this day;
‘Please come and walk alongside me,          
For I am struggling to get through today!'
Now I never heard back from Him,
When I was in my saddened plight!
And there I was most constantly;
Praying to him in the dark of night!

I whispered to the ceiling this night,
Where my eyes always stray;
And I was feeling so alone and sad,
Trying to get through this awful day!
‘Dear God,' I whispered quietly,
‘Can you please explain to me?
Why in my darkest hour of need,
You left my side and let me be…

…Be alone in my pain and fear,
And not help and support me through!
For it's at these times I need help,
I need the support to carry me through.'
Then I felt a whisper on my cheek,
And closed my eyes to pray,
As God my saviour whispered to me;
‘Catherine, I am with you today!'

‘But Lord,' I said, ‘how is that so?
When I was so down and sad and blue,
How is it that I felt so bereft and alone!
Without your presence at my side; yes you?
This was the worst time of my life, my God,
Oh how I have pained and cried;
Because of the horrific time I've had,
And how in horrific circumstances I almost died!

And yet you left me to flounder alone,
For I had no love and support from you,
How is that so, when we are told?
That you will always be there and it's true.
For you weren't there my God, and if you were,
How come I was left to fight this alone?
And fight I did, there was no other way,
For I wasn't yet ready to visit your home!

I cried for 2 years alone in the night, my God,
Oh how I feared for my life;
And all the while I felt I was alone,
In my fears, my pain and my strife.'
Now at this point I went quiet,
And listened to see if my God heard,
There was no sign that I could see though,
No, not one single word.

Then all of a sudden as I lay down for sleep,
My God whispered in my ear;
‘Catherine, I was with you every step of the way,
I was always there in your pain and fear!
You see it's a little like this kid;
Of course I felt your fear and pain,
And every time you floundered in your plight,
I lifted you high once again!

For how on earth do you think you got through?
How do you think you survived this plight?
Think on back, when you thought you were alone;
In the darkest hours of night!
You floundered on a sea of tears,
And cried out all of your pain,
And every time you fell apart in fear,
I lifted you up once again!

Had I not been there with you kid,
Then I say it and tell it true!
Had you been alone at that time,
Wouldn't have survived and come through!
And if you think back to those times,
Think on the help that you had!
All the support, all of the help,
All helping you not to be so sad!

I was the instrument of that support,
For I tell you now, and I tell it true!
That's when I was lifting you high,
And that's why you survived and came through!'
So as I lay there and listened to Him,
I remembered the nightmares I had, and the pain…
And then I realised, yes, He is right!
He did support me over and again!

For had He left me to flounder alone,
Then I wouldn't have had the support…
…Of everyone who loves me in my life,
And whose strength I always sought!
So I lowered my head in shame,
And said to this God; an icon true!
‘Once again I doubted you Lord…
Because you really did pull me through!'

You see, it's a little like this,
I was so in fear for my life at that time,
That I was drowned in that fear;
Thinking this was the end of the line!
And when I think back to it now,
I know that my God was there, I just didn't see!
And so once again, humbly so,
I thanked my God for supporting me!

As I walked alone in the sands of time,
My God was there at my side;
Lifting me high, way up high,
And that's the only reason I survived…
