The days have been difficult
The nights have been much worse
In the darkness of my bed
I replay chapter and verse.
The nights are so very long
Dredging up all the past
Too much time to dwell on hurts,
Black hours that last and last.
I rise as the darkness lifts
Removing bad feeling-
The agony, sadness, hurt-
I let day begin healing.
I'll be alright- dawn is here.
I'll get in action mode.
'Til the sun begins to set,
I'll toil down my dusty road.
