DAHLIGHT FOLLOWS NIGHT
In the wake of another senseless tragedy,
all to commonplace today,
It’s hard to know what one should do
or find the right words to say.
I do know when sadness overtakes us
it’s easy to lose sight
how we spend half our life in the light of day
and half in the dark of night.
When we are steeped in sadness,
when we think darkness will forever stay
the moon and stars provide us hope
and help to light our way.
And don’t ignore the evening primrose
or the jasmine shining bright
or the moonflower or the water lilies…
which only bloom at night.
Reminders that even in our darkest moments
seeds of hope and love can be sown.
Reminders that even when surrounded by sadness
you…are not alone
I hope anyone who is sad today
will try hard not to lose sight…
will remember all the people who love you…
and how daylight follows night.
