There are moments of darkness
They say no hope remains
You spend your time weeping
Wading threw the pain
They say you cannot go on
But you know you cannot stop
Death must be better
But you will never drop
The odds are against you
They say you Cannot win
but losing isn't an option
You find strength from within
You tell your self you can
You tell yourself you will
Pain is not your master
Darkness in not your thrill
Hope does live on
No matter what they say
The battle is not lost
Push the darkness away
I cannot fight for you
But I will be by your side
To help you fight the darkness
And get the light back in your eyes
William Edward Stahl
