From a World of Darkness Into the Light

In this world we live in there are many things that make us feel as if we are running around in the darkness and cannot find our way out. Everywhere we look there are reasons for sadness, pain and grief. We lose someone we love in death or life throws so many knocks at us we feel as if we cannot possibly get up. The world around us is full of crime, hate and injustice. It is so overwhelming that we may feel there is nothing worth our while. Yet, in each one of our lives we have much to be grateful for. We have so many wonderful things that make us happy or smile, even if only for a brief period of time. These moments are the light that makes us get up in the morning and carry on regardless of the darkness in the world. This book of poetry is a look at both the darkness in life that gets us down and at the light that lifts us up again. The sadness and grief as well as the happiness and love. May the light in your life overpower and chase away the darkness.
