This time of year can be difficult. The lack of sunlight and challenging weather conditions can take it's toll on our spirits. With this in mind I share this poem to all those who are struggling, and to those who are supporting them. I have come to strongly believe, that along with every shadow in our life, there is always light... sometimes we just need help finding it!

Hope

Sometimes in life

Tremendous trials come,

That bring great sadness and tears,

It seems as if our lives have changed,

Our vision blurred by fears,

Yet, beyond the darkness

There is always light,

That guides and inspires

Helps renew our sight,

And where there is light

There is always love,

And where there is love,

There is hope…

When we seek light 

It will be there,

In smiles and kindness given,

In autumn leaves and gentle breeze,

Earthly angels send from heaven,,

Along with every shadow

There is always light,

And where there is light,

There is always love,

And where there is love

There is hope…
