Analysis of A LITTLE SPIRITUAL SUPPORT
DAVID A STANSFIELD 1968 (Liverpool)
There will be days when you will feel,
Your life is nothing but gloom.
You may feel like you're all alone,
Even in a crowded room.
It may feel like you're running in very thick mud,
And that you're going nowhere fast.
Wondering how much misery you can take,
And how long it's going to last.
When it comes to sadness and heartache,
You've had more than your fair share.
It may feel like it's never ending,
And that no-one around you cares.
I know that you don't know me,
But I definitely feel your plight.
I want you to climb out of the darkness,
And I want you to fight for the light.
I know, deep down, you don't want to quit,
You'll keep fighting, no matter how hard.
With help from your family, and genuine friends,
And, of course, the almighty God.
It most definitely will get better,
No matter how badly your life is torn.
And remember this, which is so very true,
It's always the darkest before the dawn.
So any time that you're feeling low,
Or having problems of any sort.
Please use this poem as a guiding light,
And a little spiritual support.
