A Better Road Tomorrow

I have had this poem rumbling around my brain for a few years now, but I am only now putting it down.  However, there is something missing about it, but I can't figure out what.  Maybe by letting it to into the public like this, I will be able to find out what.  So, here it is

A Better Road Tomorrow

I will always regret never knowing the light of your life, the love of your heart.

How I wish I could have been a part of that life,

But I now know it will never be.

I cannot be there for you, within the flesh, only in spirit,

Yet I will do what I can, nothing more or less.

I give you my prayers, to warm you through these cold, empty nights.

I give you my heart, for yours is broken, and love is always needed.

I give you my mind, so you can think clearly on what lies ahead.

I give you my strength, to bear the weight that burdens you so.

I give you my life, if I but could, to replace what has gone missing in your world,

But I cannot, and so you suffer.

The shadows creep along, trying to devour you whole.

Yet in that dark abyss, there is still light and life and love.

Find it, and follow it to new days ahead.

Your world is not over, you will go on.

One day, one step, each brighter than before.

Until there will be only light, the darkness behind you,

Not forgotten, but no longer a threat.

So now, you rest, in this dark night of the soul,

But remember, there is a better road tomorrow

And you do not walk it alone.
