All is Not Lost

Dedicated to a dear friend going through a tough time.

Do not be afraid my dear friend
Look into my eyes and listen to me
I know all is not lost this day
Even though darkness is what you see

Among the shadows I will find you
In these cold and barren halls of stone
I stand before you strong and true
You are no longer alone

I carry a torch of blazing fire
The beacon will light our way
Take my hand as I help you rise
In this place you’re not meant to stay

As you emerge to the sun warming your face
The cool breeze refreshes your soul
We’ll walk the hills to comfort your mind
I will protect your heart in cotton wool

As a kindred spirit I will never leave you
In our circle of friendship you are safe
As we gaze towards the heavens together
We will keep the darkness at bay
