When troubles shadowed my soul,
in doubt of my sanity, tortured by dreams,
Love granted me solace from my nightmares.

Lost in my sea of blackness,
you offered your hand to protect me,
out of kindness and without cost.

Upset and doubtful of my way,
many months did I drift in torment,
and now my path toward life is more clear.

Ready to face the challenges, eager to
realize these promises of future happiness.
You will never hear me express in suitable,
meaningful words how grateful I am to You.
Everything in my life may yet be set right.

Penned by my hand on the 9th of Ferinus, in the year 473 AD.
