My light in the darkness
Bobbie Mosley 1968 (Arkansas)
My retirement came
And no cards were seen
Except one
From my special dream
The person who sent it
Never even knew
She was the reason
I survived my sexual abuse
She smiled at me in the hall
Never knowing she was my all
She was the reason
I survived all the pain
She is the reason
I am still here today
She was the one
Who made me see
How very special
Life can be!
