Celebrating The Light by Pamela
To Some There Are Days When Nothing Seems Right
When Every Shell You Pick Up On The Winding Shore Is Broken
When The Silken Treasure Slips Through Your Finger Too Quickly
When Comforts Are Empty...And The World Is Noise
On Those Jagged Days
When The Wind Is Screaming
For A Reason Only He Understands
And You Find Yourself All Alone
Turn Your Face To The Sun
There Is Goodness In The World That Even The River Of Tears Cannot Erase
There Is Love In The World That The Numbed Armies Of Fear Can Not Destroy
Sometimes That Goodness Is Everywhere Apparent
It Pours From The Heart Of Every Moment...From The Light Of Every Smile
On Those Soft Days
Love Hides In The Eaves To Drop Like Sweet Honey On Your Forehead
And Sings His Lilting Lullabies In The Arms Of The Winds
But On Some Days, Beloved
On Days Like Today...
We Need To Look To See
So Turn Your Face To The Sun
Even When He Is Nowhere To Be Seen
Go Inside Yourself...Find A Speck
A Splinter Of Beauty To Be Grateful For
Yes, The Day Has Worn You
And Yes, Our Mistakes Have Been So Many
But, Say "Thank You" Anyway
Take Account Of All That Is In Your Possession
A Mind...A Heart...A Body
A Life That Breathes...Even If It Is For Just One More Day
Now Count The Eyes That Have Smiled At You On Your Wild Journey
The Hands That Have Held You Tenderly
The Ears That Have Listened
The Prayers That Have Been Made On Your Behalf
And Whisper Your "Thank You" Again
Count The Sky That Has Watched You Grow With His Painted Eyes
The Heaving Waves That Find Their Echo In The Tides Of Your Breathing
The Little Birds That Have Sung Your Their Songs
The Stars Which Have Been A Lamp To Your Path...And Are Your Rightful Inheritance
Count Unexpected Laughter
Count Undeserved Grace
For Dreams Yet To Be Born...And Bow Your Head and Say "Thank You"
Now Count The Lives Who Still Need Your Light
The Hungry...The Sick...The Helpless
Count The Children Who Will Die Today
And Imagine If With The Breath Of Your Body...You Could Help Just One
Turn Your Face To The Sun
And Know Yourself As A Child Of The Light
You ARE The Goodness That Cannot Be Extinquished
The Love That Burns Through The Darkest Night
And Perhaps...In Turning, You Will See What I Have Seen
That This Day Where Everything Seemed Wrong...Was Not Your Curse
It Was Your Gift...Your Chance
To Find Inside Yourself A Forgotten "Thank You"
To Smile In The Face Of Grim Suppressors
To Stand In The Heart Of The Glowering Darkness
And Turn Your Face To The Sun
To Know You Are Never Alone
