The Long Dark Hallway

The Long Dark Hallway The long dark hallway The glow coming from the end It’s the place I lay my head The space that I can’t win The feelings - troubled Long and fearful were the nights The emotions seemed so loud I frantically played - to make my world alright Cowboys and Indians Drawing pictures by night light I remember the hunger No appetite - despite As I drifted into a slumber All my troubles seem to fade I look forward to the blessing The hope – the desire of a better day As the hallway began to glow The late night’s shadows disappeared The sun would always rise Freeing me from all my fears Seasons have come and gone Some memories seem to never fade The long dark hallway It’s made me who I am today
