Light in the Darkness

[Spreadthought]

There is light in every darkness;
A seed to be cared for and grown.
There is no darkness that can not be overcome,
Unless you are left to care for it on your own.

Together we can battle any darkness
That would blacken our day.
But to do this we need to stop
And listen to what each other say.

Not one person is the same,
And that is the ultimate truth;
A lesson that needs to be learned
From the elderly to the youth.

We may hear the same words
But take away a different meaning;
Without understanding,
We leave society bleeding.

Healing can begin
With the simple use of words
To avoid the dangers of silence
Which are usually just absurd.

Be honest, be open,
Be shy, be afraid.
Just don't be silent
When blame is being laid.

There are two sides to every story.
Sometimes there are even more.
Listen to all before rushing to judgement
And the light in the darkness with surely endure.
