Illuminate

My darling,
When the light of the moon fades
And the warming rays of the sun turn cold
Turn not your head to avoid the truth
Look upon it, study it, understand
That all may seem lost
But as long
As light
Remains
In your heart
There is always hope

Michael, I needed this one today. I seem sometimes to forget that through faith all things are possible. Very beautifully written reminder. Thank you. I am glad to be back on the soup. Smiles from Lena
