My life is complex, filled with tragedy

Two years had gone by and I was still in agony 

My world was shattered

Broken and battered

I had no hope 

How does a 17 year old cope?

God was my light 

He taught me I had to fight

Every day felt like I was walking up an icy mountain

When I looked to God I drank from his fountain

My heart was filled with love 

And with that, he is my everything, my beautiful dove

What would the world be like without him?

Dark, lonely and grim?

After my father's passing, my world was grey 

The only answer was to pray

In the end, God became my light

And with him I found delight

I could not live a day without my lord
