Twilight

Life gives us the greatest of joys and the greatest of sorrows, many yesterdays and limited tomorrows
We’re given the gift of laughter and the gift of tears, valorous perseverance throughout the years
We embrace the light and darkness we fear, but without the twilight of sapphire we cannot grow, my Dear
We understand happiness for its message is clear, but suffering can makes us question if our God is still near
We strive to know the how, what, when and whys, the questions we ask to beacon an answers’ arise 
But sometimes silence falls on our deepest cries, our questions go unanswered and we’re non-less the wise 
If we open our hearts and invite truth into our lives, we’ll find what we need in our Holy Father’s eyes  
He offers comfort and peace with extraordinary love, blessings and grace from His home in heaven high above 
Your suffering He does embrace, so call on Him when you need His Holy strength, He’ll give it to you freely, for YOU are blessed and He loves you ever so deeply
