Light After the Darkness

As dawn would bring no daylight without dark, empty night; the clearest day no beauty hold without dense, clouds of gray. As spring would bring no rebirth without cold winter sleep; the fallen snow no cleansing- without the ashen stain of fall. As love would bring no healing without the wounds of hate; and laughter give no gladness without the woeful tears of pain. As peace would bring no glory without the fear of endless war; all life, less joy or meaning hold, without the sting of death. As Heaven would bring no reward without the fear of Hell; God's forgiveness grants no Grace- without repentance for our sin.
