Stumbling Through Darkness Poem by Guido Blokland

Stumbling through darkness
your voice guides me
towards the door
leading into light

Happiness found you
under the pale north sky
where clouds scud along
and the sun shines bright

Your voice travels with me
a recorded memory
of companiable evenings
where the daylight faded

She's now well cared for
I know you know
the little one you took in
all those years ago now

As we carry on in life
you look on from beyond it
your smile touches me
as I find my way
