All my days had no colour and looked very grey <br />and I wished that my depression would go away. <br />Nothing excited me as I went through the motions. <br />No feeling of joy only such sad emotions. <br /> <br />Nothing could lift my soul from its awful despair <br />there was just the darkness and gloom everywhere. <br />I was lost in the depths of my sorrow and pain <br />and I wondered if I would know laughter again. <br /> <br />Though the road looked so long and so dark to me <br />and such fear and despair was all that I could see. <br />But I always knew that You would walk with me there <br />that I would not be bereft of Your loving care. <br /> <br />Then the great day came when colours appeared once more <br />Your light came shining through my hearts half open door. <br />And then my depression started to go away <br />as I began to live and enjoy each new day. <br /> <br />Oh the joy of being able to laugh and sing <br />Oh the difference that only Jesus can bring. <br />Now glorious colour radiates each day <br />As I walk and talk with Jesus along the way.<br /><br />Royston Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-my-days-had-no-colour-and-looked-very-grey/
