Inspired by the book, Prayers For Bobby, by Leroy Aaron.
-
- My fear is truth pulling me away
- Into a deep pool of darkness
- From the depths, they’re reaching up to me
- My head above water, I only see shadows
- Moving around, not touching the ground
-
- Stealing the air from my lungs
- Coming closer, I swim from them
- Never fast or far enough
-
- I’m surrounded by shadows
- Flailing my arms, kicking hard, panicking
- Trying to keep from sinking below
-
- I’m beckoned by those beneath
- Can I trust them to show me the way
- Or do they have a plan of their own
-
- My legs weaken, I’m floundering
- Sinking slowly fear becomes nothing
- Struggle is over, shadows can’t follow
- Life is escaping from this body
-
- At last I’m free from earth’s boundaries
- I feel them reaching up to catch me
- Gently, they soothe my aching soul
- Now I know I’ve come home
