IT

'Twas a dark time

A dark time for my life

Hope was not there

So I cried in great despair

'mid great darkness

I saw a beam of brightness

Hope IT brought

With a portion of love

I wondered ITS power

bright as a sunflower

I wondered ITS strength

With such great grace

Jeaulousy was in me

For IT had all I needed to be

And not only for myself

But everything for anyone else

Developed was an admiration

And soon a fixation

For IT had everything

To protect me from sin

Danger later came

And feelings then became

Snares within my soul

Destroying the pace of my blood's flow

Close to IT I became

And happines to me came

Darkness I overcame

And thankful I was to ITS name

My feelings were mixed

And good sense I missed

IT was all I wanted to be

And IT I wished to see

Into poison IT turned

Making my heart hurt

For thinking was I

That IT would be mine

Sad was to discover

That time was now over

'Tis time to grow mature

And learn from life's truths

From sadness IT had made me free

And more like IT I wished to be

But farewell I had to say

And certain laws I had to obey

Once again to cry I had

But no answer was ever said

For IT had already left

Leaving my soul simply dead.
