The following poem was written by my Uncle Jeremy, Mommy's brother. He said it was for his little Ciaran...
I wake up and look for the light,
I search for strength and there is none in sight.
In the room a dim light shines and I feel a presence,
but I cannot see them and my body begins to tense.
I try to find a purpose to struggle on,
I need to find it quick before the light is gone.
Do others look for solace within me,
what is it inside that they see?
Do I face the world that has done me wrong,
or do I turn and run far and long?
I don't know if I should go or stay,
please light show me a path before my will fades away.
Is there a place for me among the living,
or should I be somewhere else dark and more forgiving?
Someone unknown is there comforting me as I begin to cry,
all of a sudden I am soothed as the tears start to dry,
and I look up again and wonder why?
I don't know if I possess the might,
I am weakening as darkness looms into night.
I wonder if it is worth going through all the strife,
is this what was meant of my life?
So one last itme I ask why an I here,
and with a rush of warm light the answer is clear.
I must go forth and face the world strong with no regret,
for my purpose is clear...I am not done yet...
