Struggling with loneliness (Vol 1 No 64)

The struggle in our loneliness

To see a friendly light

Brings pain and stress; it leaves us weak;

We live in endless night!

And in the darkness, there we weep;

We seek tranquility;

We sometimes even wish that death

Might ease our agony.

If we but look within our soul

We’ll find a friendly place;  

For there we reach God’s loving strength

And know a saving grace.

With such companionship we move

To places yet unknown;

Acceptance is from God - a gift; 

We need not feel alone.
