Guiding Light Through the Shadows

In the shadows where the echoes lie,

My heart whispers softly, yet I still cry.

But there’s a presence, strong and bright,

You are my shelter, my Guiding Light.

Through the darkest nights and the endless fights,

You hold my hand, chasing away the frights.

With every panic, every flashback I face,

You remind me of strength, of love, and grace.

In the corners of Iowa where memories loom,

You paint the sky, dispelling the gloom.

When the demons come knocking, fierce and wild,

You stand beside me, fierce and unbeguiled.

You are my shield, my hope, my fire,

In this storm of pain, you lift me higher.

Together we’ll walk through hell’s own gate,

With you, I’m alive, and I won’t hesitate.

So let the world tremble and shadows creep,

We’ll forge a path where others can’t leap.

For every soul trapped in the chains of fear,

Reach out your hand, let the light draw near.

Reflections haunting, past scars unsealed,

But your love is a fortress, my heart’s been healed.

I remember your words, they shine like the sun,

In this battle of life, together we’ve won.

For those who suffer, for those lost in night,

Take this message, let it ignite.

Don’t run from your truth, don’t hide in despair,

Your beacon awaits, so stand tall, be fair.

You are my shield, my hope, my fire,

In this storm of pain, you lift me higher.

Together we’ll walk through hell’s own gate,

With you, I’m alive, and I won’t hesitate.

So here’s to the fighters, the broken, the brave,

Look for your light, your love, and your wave.

With hands intertwined, we’ll rise from the night,

In this journey together, we’ll find all our might.
