Thanking the Dark Times

The days are dark, then comes the dawn For one without the other cannot be A day without night, can it really shine? And with only darkness, can you really see? You must have pain before you can heal It will make you stronger, so you can live If life were always easy, would you grow To welcome the light, learn to forgive? Tho it be hard to accept life’s pains You must learn… this is an opportunity As heat tempers steel to make it strong You must learn to accept each adversity. Be thankful when life gives you challenges Know the light will shine when they are gone For without them there’d be no love or joy When dark turns to day, as you move on.
