Light of Hope
As dawn came near
I was alone
In the deep, dark sea
I was scared
I was suffocating
There was no light, just dark and only dark
And when I was just about to given in
Someone held my hand
That someone became my light
That someone gave me hope
And I thought
Perhaps even in the most deepest part of the sea
Light can pierce through
