Another Life Poem by Dorsey Baker

All the pain
All the stress and strain
You almost give up
Then someone comes along
to help you
Become strong
enough to make it through
another night another day
Letting you know
that you can
Make it all the way
Thank God
for that someone
not just another
Hit and run
Someone to give you
the strength to overcome the sorrow
To think about tomorrow
You feel the peace
that comes with a new look on life
No longer the deep dark nightmare
that imprisoned you
You walked out of the darkness
into the light
Now everything is all right!
