Navigating life is hard
It's easy when someone is there helping to guide you
When that person is gone you become lost

Lost in the sea of life
Hurricanes crashing into your
Small boat, threatening capsizing it
Looking for the safe Sanctum

You search for the lighthouse
To guide you to safety, to take your
Heart into it's safety

As the darkness surrounding you
Starts to close in, you feel scared
Waiting for the pain of clashing on
The rocks

When the hope is swiftly gone
And the fear starts to overwhelm
Whispering to you to give up

A sleek light comes from the darkness
Not the same light as before
A brighter one, warmer than the last

This one comes not from one heart but those of many coming to save the sailor. Friends reaching out to bring him home

Though the light is far away and a hurricane to get through, the sailor realizes the fear stopped talking
And sitting next to him growing was

Hope
