616. Be The Light

In the deep blue ocean of night.

Drift upon the surface.

Do not sink.

Be the Light!

For the universe is vast and dark,

And primarily the same.

So be the rare…

Light a spark!

Be the sun which radiates bright,

And lights the way through time.

Choose goodness.

Do what’s right.

Be the Light.

Be the Light!

252. It’s Okay

Sunny-day1

It’s okay not to be happy.

It’s okay, my child.

Tomorrow the sun will rise again,

And hearts will again run wild;

Beating up and down the streets.

Flowing through the hours,

O’er-rushing with dreams of cakes and sweets,

And fields of endless flowers.

So it’s okay to cry and be sad.

It’s okay, my child.

Tomorrow the sun will rise again,

And yes, you will have smiled!
