Digging Out

DIGGING OUT

Dark and dusty, no way out
I’m surrounded by the smell of fear
I’m alone, so...all alone
And I’ll never escape from here

I just keep digging further down
I didn’t know what else to do
And then one day, I don’t know how
A tiny bit of light broke through

Down into the deep dark pit
The place I had made for me
Came this little shaft of light
I could finally see

Why, there’s a rope…and a ladder there
Had I missed them all this time?
I put down the shovel, dusted myself off
And determinedly started to climb

The light began to brighten
As I sped along my way
Ever onward, getting closer
To the light of day

My eyes adjusting to the light
At last I finally see
Those who supported and those who cheered
And those who prayed for me.

Thank you
