There’s a star in the sky
one you’ll never quite see
but it shines all the same
perfect voice tuned to “C”
*
you can’t hear what she sings
but the song is her own
she calls the disheartened
to draw near home
*
I met this fair one
not long ago in a dream
she called in the dark
I was lost so it seems
*
Radiance poured on a path
one that I’d never used
and I stumbled in the dirt
over unlaced running shoes
*
on my knees I looked up
and I saw a bright light
it came with a song
what a beautiful sight
*
“you will make it
I can see
not too far now
past those trees
take a left
then a right
you will find hope
past the night”
*
Then I saw it in a smile
someone waving all the while
open arms rescued me
finally safe, darkness free

“It is always darkest just before the day dawneth.” – Thomas Fuller
Have you ever stumbled in the dark? It seems most of us do. Have you ever been picked up out of the dirt? I have and am grateful for those gentle smiles that graciously moved me on my way. If you have ever stumbled and been helped back up, remember to look for others who can use a simple act of kindness to help them continue on their way.
Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. 2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. Hebrews 13:1-2
