Be thankful.
For round you,
Thy life there is a world
Without conscience
Without light.
To;
All thee who live
And all thee who strive
Strife may not as yet
Have touched your bones.
So
Be thankful.
For the lark & the light
And the music of the night
And its kingdom.
So far from the dark
And apart from those times
A better world that
Is still trying
To be a better world.
So
Be thankful.
For the child, and the heart
And the happiness & time
The seasons and the soul and
The hope that our kind,
Keeps.
So
Give thanks.
For in the true
Kingdom of Night
There is no love to find,
No beauty, no truth no meaning
And no time
No time
To live
Or be
Or love
Or find
You.
So
Be thankful
For it is not merely
The act of being alive,
Survival
But for that which
Keeps you alive,
Against the storms
Against the hard times
“Faith”
For among the ruins
There is a shining diamond
A star within the wreckage
Waiting to be found
So be thankful
That the daylight shines
For you
Each morning
And that the moon
Remains to remind
That time, life
Is merely a passing dream
And that the night
Good or bad
Shall eventually pass
For good.
