The Darkest Days
Many hope their life is a walk in the park;
that everything will turn out all right;
in the fullness of time; this world becomes dark;
and we dwell in a never ending night.
Most of us can cope with most anything;
with someone, by our side, to care;
tho it’s frightening what dark days bring;
we’re at peace; with someone there.
There comes a darkness we fear the most;
when we lose a husband or wife;
loneliness becomes our permanent host;
threatening to remain for life.
Friends, all have their own life to live;
and, with families; the same is true;
dark days are a time to love and forgive;
that those others might forgive you.
Only love possess extraordinary power;
drying the tears that rein;
enabling the soul to blossom and flower;
allowing us to hope again.
Faith is the companion all must have;
for, it gives us the eyes to see;
the truth of God’s love; a healing salve;
and that truth shall set us free.
The darkest days are an endless night;
but, every cloud has a silver lining;
in that darkness; we can’t miss the Light;
for truth is the light, that’s shining.
