THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Life is a long, adventurous journey,
with curves, narrow paths, and space.
Happiness and sadness hit us
and smacks us in the face.

It’s full of many questions.
Who, what, where, and why?
The world is going insane,
you either laugh or cry.

If you are hail and healthy,
you just can jog along.
but some people are ill,
and everything goes wrong.

Darkness overcomes them,
hope seems to disappear.
These forgotten people
live in darkness and fear.

Stop, even for a moment and
listen to what they say.
You may be the only one,
they have spoken to today.

With a little touch of kindness,
they may forget their plight.
You’ll move them from the darkness
to the beauty of the light.
