Choices of Dark and Light

The dark came upon us, and all we did shutter. The light came upon us, and we basked in its’ glow. We lite a light to keep it close, and remember the love it did throw. When we traveled thru life’s valleys we held the light high. When we reached the high mountains we forgot with a sigh. But we carried it deep inside, to draw out if we were at risk. The darkness befell others and off we did go. To share our gift readily with others you know. To pass the light gently was always our aim. To love the world greatly, the world’s sadness to tame. If the gift was not accepted, it was with deep sorrow and regret. For the world needs the light to find it’s way you can bet. We are the candles and God is the light… Disasters are darkness that we try to set right. As Jesus remembers, so also must we. For we conquer mountains with love, you do see. And always there are others in need, like you and like me. So harken to words both brave and yet true… Help others around you, tho troubles do brew. For the light is a blessing, and troubles not new. They’re something we have just like others, it’s true. With patience and work belief can begin. Then a light will start shining all over again. Peace and good will are the ribbons that hold us all tight. Disasters and wars are the clouds that threaten the light. But if together we stand forever you see. A small glimpse of heaven forever will be. Written 12-13-2013
