As my past slowly begins to creep up behind me,
 

I find myself drowning in a sea of tears.
 

I do my best to swim toward the shore,
 

The direction to safety is unknown thanks to my fears.
 

Fighting the many temptations and friends,
 

The waves begin to crash over my head.
 

Slowly I lose strength to fight anymore,
 

I wonder if I will soon be dead.
 

Struggling in the dark, dangerous waters
 

I arise for one last, final breath,
 

I see a glimmering light not to far
 

Thinking maybe this would prevent my death.
 

With every ounce of strength I swim toward the light
 

But I feel like my hands are tied,
 

I scream out for help from the source of above
 

That I so ignorantly put aside.
 

"I can't do it anymore my Lord,
 

The waves of the water are way too strong."
 

Waiting for a reply,

I wondered if I had waited too long.
 

"My dear precious child, I am here,

For my arms have always been stretched out.
 

You must have faith my child,
 

That is what believing in me is all about."
 

As I lay safe in the security of my Master's lighthouse,
 

He holds me to where His face I could see.
 

A tear slides across His face as He says,
 

"Why did it take so long for you to come to me?"
