This inspirational poem is about feeling lost and alone – and overcoming those feelings.
The Other Side of Darkness
What can be accomplished at night?
At a time when there is no light,
and little movement outside
it seems as if life has come to a standstill
and there is little we can do to change until
we seen the sun again.
So often we forget
that on the other side of the world
it is daylight, and where they are
The sun has risen.
On the other side of darkness,
they are drinking their morning coffee.
They have gotten into their cars.
They are working.
They are teaching.
They are learning.
They are…
sharing
laughing
playing
watching
hugging.
And it will go on, until it is our turn
to see the daylight
and they wonder
what happens
on the other side of darkness.
