poem \"Salvation\"

Salvation --02.22.06 Wednesday--
Over and over she does fall,
Unsure as to where might be her call;
Struggling to see past the dark nights;
Past the internal fights;
Wanting only to see the path before her,
Wanting only to know better days.

But over and over she does fall;
Moments, seconds, weaks;
Forgotten pain;
She succumbs,
Dragged underneath again.
Fighting a never-ending battle,
It seems;
She wonders if all is lost;
If all is in vain.

But then she remembers;
She sees the best measurement
Of her success,
of her life;
Not by looking in the mirror,
At only seeing nothingness;
She looks in front of her,
Around her and next to her;
She then remembers.

Moments, seconds;
Laughter, tears;
Surfacing in her mind;
In front of her she knows;
She prays;
Her friends surround her,
Never straying.

Maybe today she will succumb,
But she's not alone;
She's not forgotten.
There's always tomorrow to fight,
To continue on.
Struggling to see past the dark nights,
She prays;
Wanting only to see the path before her,
Wanting only to know better days.

Over and over she does fall,
But there are others who hear her call;
Fighting a never-ending battle,
It seems;
But all is not lost;
All is not in vain.

The road before her is rocky and dark;
And she feels alone;
But around and beside her,
Never leaving,
Never straying;
Her guardian angels help her;
Guide her;
Reminding her;
She can have better days.
