All the Love, All the Best
No matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to fly.
My feet are glued to the ground, I can’t even look around.
I want to give up, I should give up.
My world is dark and cold, without another hand to hold.
I wish someone was here with me, oh I don’t know where I should be!
The darkness is crawling towards me, can’t anyone help me?
I try and I try, even though all I want to do is cry.
Out of the darkness comes a faint light, soft sounding music starting to take flight.
I take a hesitant step forward, towards the light with a new found determination. I can do this, I can do this.
Each step is easier, lighter than the last as I get closer to the light.
“It’s a person!” my heart cries. “I’m not alone anymore!”
The person in the light smiles at me and holds his arms out for a hug. I leap into his arms, so happy to have him.
I feel his grip slack and I say, “Please don’t leave, I don’t want to go back!” The light is already fading, the person in the light still smiling.
He says, “Life is just a test, and I wish you all the love and all the best.”
