if ever there is no moon hanging above your night sky, tuck all your worries under your pillow. don't let them hold you hostage, simply sleep. sleep tight; you'll wake up to a rising Sun. if ever you're lost in life's intricate, serpentine maze, do not be dismayed; they come with forks, too. you'll find your way, that I can assure you. keep moving, you'll find one in your journey. if ever you find yourself trapped beneath the undertow of consuming despair, don't fret or fear. you'll get your head above water if you cling to the unbreakable thread of hope. if ever you lose your faith in humanity, in God, it's never too late to find your way back. with faith, you're never in the dark for long, for the Lord will help guide you to the light. and if ever you need me, day or night, reach out to me.

If ever there was a poem to induce Faith and encouragement to forge ahead it is this one. Enjoyed it, taking it in as I read. We forget some times in this crazy world. Sometimes it seems much easier to just give up. Your poem reminds us that the struggle is worth it, try it and you'll come out on the sunny side. Brilliant thank you Edward.
