We Walk Alone
By
Alice C. Bateman
We walk alone in darkness
Even in the bright of day
Our sorrows overtake us
When we try to walk away
We each have our own troubles
We try to work them out
But oftentimes, we cannot help
But be consumed with doubt
We try to smell the flowers
But there seems to be no way
To get any enjoyment
On a dark and depressed day
The sunlight doesn’t penetrate
The all-pervasive gloom
We can’t even see the beauty
In a beautiful, sweet bloom
But still somehow we must go on
Must do our days with grace
Try not to let the people see
What lies behind our face
Life can be such a struggle
But the beauty is still there
It might take a loved one’s laughter
A hint that someone cares
Then perhaps we can awaken
From the misery we feel
Reach out to God, and hold on
And know His love is real
