LIGHT IN THE DARK
We have been jolted,
Tested and tried,
Our times have been dark,
With some comforts denied.
Things that we clung to,
And thought our security,
Were ripped from our hold,
Caused feelings of unsurety.
“What will tomorrow bring?”
“Is there hope for this dark time?”
“Is there any

That sat just next to me.
He hit the nail square
