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

When you are at your list point you
Think everything is lost
You're alone, upset, fearful, scared
You are afraid to reach out, thinking
No one will answer or no one will care
But it's at your lowest that you realize you aren't

As you think you are crashing into rock bottom of despair you hit something solid.
Thinking this is it you look out and see darkness underneath you. You landed on a ledge

As you look up you see people looking down at you and ropes start being lowered to you. Friends you haven't talked to in years, friends who you just met and those spread across the globe start pulling you up

It's at your lowest when you realize you aren't at rock bottom. People will be there for you helping you back up
Friends no matter if you talked yesterday or three years ago they answer your call. Friends in different time zones answer when they can doing whatever they can from so far

It's at this time you realize how blessed you are, because at your lowest you see the only way is up from here
