At Last I Call You Friend

The last of fading light slips in my room
To cast its shadows long across the floor
The sun, it seems, is bowing to the gloom
Of looming painful night forevermore.
For beacon's light I search the lonely shore
Horizon scan for any glimpse at all;
The pain from out my soul begins to pour
As crashing waves of grief cause me to fall.
My heart courageous beats yet can't forestall
The ravages this storm shall surely wreak;
In youth I thought I'd rise above the pall
Of suffering, enshrouded days so bleak.

Yet agony, at last I call you friend
For to His side you've led me in the end.
