The Darkest Night

I was going through some of my things that I brought home from my mission and I found this poem that I had written. I was at a very low point of in regards to my spirit and happiness. It seemed like nothing was working out for my companion and me and I just didn't know what to do.

I hope this can help you in some way today or in the future.

Brightly beams the darkest night,
Catching all in its deceiving trap.
I pray to God to see me through,
To dry my tears, to pat my back.

Where am I to look for peace?
Under rocks or ocean deep?
Will I ever find my happy day?
Can it stay for me to keep?

When will these rain clouds fly away,
Or am I meant to always soak?
I feel so lonely and lost,
So tired, forgotten, broke.

Can I please rest from weight so large?
Please, just this once, let me sleep.
Give me chance to go and search,
For that heaven on earth, to which I'd keep.

Just give me a reason to keep moving on,
Through the night, the darkess and pain.
Teach me now, to keep my path straight.
Let me my happiness finally gain.

Give me now, a sun to light,
To drive out the darkness in my life.
So I can move to that bright day,
And leave this life of pain and strife.

I now close my eyes and try to sleep,
I want to finally float away,
From this night so black,
To leave at last, my darkest day.
