You are not alone....

As we tread the path of life
Many and varied memories arise
Loving parents,
brothers and sisters
uncles and aunts
Childhood friends
Grandparents and teachers
And the generation you created
They are all with you,
loving you caring for you

At times the journey is magnificent
And at times, so difficult
The floor cracks beneath you
And the floods open soaking you
Flashes of light and darkness
Engulf you and choke you
Loved ones disappear around you
Confused, unhappy and adrift
Wearily treading with no end in sight

As you look around in despair
You find that you are not alone
You are with those who care
Your pain is understood and shared
The path is more bearable
The burden is easier to carry

Your journey was made brighter
by so many close friends
Who love you, and you love them too
For we learnt so much from each other
They understood how you felt
They wanted to light up your life
With the torch of love and empathy
You are not alone,
You are not alone
