Through The Tunnel!


Through the tunnel I want to walk,
Straight into the beaming light!
But no matter how I try o do it,
I am still locked in the dark of night!

One step forward – ten steps back!
It always seems the same!
But I won't accept defeat!
So I fought back once again!

No matter how many doors closed,
I always keep one ajar!
For my strength and determination is strong!
And yes, it's brought me far!

And though I see no light at the end…
Of this tunnel so long of mine…!
I know that one day in the future,
That brilliant light will shine!

And until then I will forward on,
And never let my life slip behind!
Because if I do, then I've wasted this life!
And that will keep me in a tight bind!

For I will not waste a second…!
On negativity, absolutely no way!
For I will always prevail, I will!
Until my dying day!

For then - and only then will I fold!
And go to that shining light!
And finally be released…
From the nightmares of the night!

But I'm not in a hurry for that,
For I have a life good and fine,
But one day, just like you…
Peace and release will be mine!

But that's a long way off I hope!
Like I say, I'm in no hurry!
And I also have to add…
I don't even have the worry…

Time takes time, and its God's call,
As to what and when and how …!
And until then, I will live to my best!
And not worry about the future now!

…One-Day-At-A-Time…
