Desperate Moment
After six years of battling cancer, Amanda is feeling hopeless and full of sorrow; but comforted by God’s eternal hope and promise that this life is not the end.
What happens when I look within?
I feel hopeless and filled with sorrow
What happens when I look around?
I’m depressed and dread tomorrow
If this life is really a test
I’m afraid I’m horribly failing-
So weak, confused, lost when it rains…
And now it’s relentlessly hailing
And when I hit rock bottom
Some try to tear me down
They turn their backs, ignore me
All alone I slowly drown
Caught in this desperate moment
Blinded by streaming tears
What happens when I look up at Him?
He understands me and He hears
He provides eternal hope
On family and friends I can depend
The one and only comfort
This life is not the end
Amanda Dieppa, 6/18/04
