When It's Darkest
Member Blog post · General
When your entire world's in confusion
And nothing is going your way;
When happiness seems an illusion
And you can't see the light of day-
When the conflict inside you keeps growing
And your life seems like one big cliché;
You're weak from the struggle, not knowing
If anyone hears when you pray-
When you're feeling alone and mistaken
When none of your friends seem to care;
You're discouraged and visibly shaken
And you want to give up in despair-
As sure as Spring follows December,
And the newness of life comes along,
So too, you must always remember,
When it's darkest, it's just before dawn.

so sad to hear about your loss. I kno you like poetry.... http://www.livewithjt.com/index.php/good-stuff/740-i-know-youll-miss-this-man-by-baxter-black.html
Thank you, SGcowboy55. It will be three years in March and it's still hard to believe my boy is gone but as they say, life does go on and you have to pick yourself back up when it knocks you down, brush yourself off and carry on. I had a couple of Baxter Black's books of poetry that I gave to one of my sons. I have also had the opportunity to listen to him recite some of his poetry. He makes it fun! Thank you for the link. I will be sure to check it out and thank you for caring.
Hhm... I tried this link but it hit a dead end. I can alway do a Google search for it.
