Given

Fleeting moments pass while one life teeters.
Faltering on the edge of abyss. 
Weighing the pros and cons of this. 
Wondering if life really is all it’s cracked up to be.
Am I worthy of saving, this shell of a human that is me?

Like a lighthouse upon a stormy coast they serve.
Bringing the lost back in, 
With comforting words keeping what is sacred. 
Yet beyond that moment resides their own battle.
The silent one that could cost them their life. 

Each time chosen to aid those whom may take away a gift.
Each time silently edging to take what they’ve been given.
They respond to our call, who will heed their call?

When all they’ve left has been given….
