In the wake of another senseless tragedy,

all to commonplace today,

It’s hard to know what one should do

or find the right words to say.

I do know when sadness overtakes us 

it’s easy to lose sight

how we spend half our life in the light of day

and half in the dark of night.

When we are steeped in sadness,

when we think darkness will forever stay

the moon and stars provide us hope

and help to light our way.

And don’t ignore the evening primrose

or the jasmine shining bright

or the moonflower or the water lilies…

which only bloom at night.

Reminders that even in our darkest moments

seeds of hope and love can be sown.

Reminders that even when surrounded by sadness

you…are not alone

I hope anyone who is sad today

will try hard not to lose sight…

will remember all the people who love you…

and how daylight follows night.
