Moments of Remembrance

When luck seizes to befriend,
and everything seems unfair.

When all hope is lost,
and heart is emptied to despair.

When all light is lost,
and darkness is hard to bear.

When I've lost all I had,
and nobody is willing to share.

When I am sick in bed,
and nobody seems to care.

When loved ones have passed on,
at lifeless photographs you stare.

I then close my eyes in remembrance,
trying hard to hold back a tear.
Why is it only now, Master,
that I feel you are near...
