The children of the densely treed forest dozed, curled about one another among twisted roots, snuggled near the base of a tree. They could hear her words of wisdom, words whispered through the night among drowsy thoughts in their sleepy minds. Mother Nature knew her children and smiled down on them, nurturing as they slumbered.
“…and there will be those days of sunlight … and there will be those nights of darkness. Do not fear the darkness of the night, for in the morning of the day, 
the sun will shine again.
But when Darkness steals into your life to take from you, your precious heart of love … then know (and she reached out and embraced them all – every single one) … I will be there to shine for you as the sun shines on a blue-skied day. I will not let the Darkness carry you away.
Rest easy on those night of days. Know all will be well, little ones … all will be well.”
And the children of the forest slept, safe in her loving arms for another night of rest!
“Believe that in your night of days When Darkness enters in, There is hope do not despair The light will shine again.”*

The Why About This 
This felt like a big hug of hope!
xx 🙂 🙂 xx
It was a HUGE one from me RoSy! Thanks for receiving it! 🙂 xo
Penny, so glad I endorsed you on LinkedIn today for that is where I saw the link to this post. Beautiful, my dear friend!
Hello Sharla, my friend, how have you been doing? Thank you so much for stopping by and of course the endorsement, I’m in a catch-up mode myself right now. Thank you for your lovely words, dear friend of mine! xx
Hi!, Penny…this must be one of my favorite blog post from you.
You remind me a lot of my friend, who he too spoke of light and darkness.
You’re right with darkness comes hope and washing away all the despair in our lives. 🙂
Thank you Charlie, I believe so my friend! 🙂
If was possible for you to outdo yourself….well this is it. xx
Hello SteJ, thank you, and although I didn’t comment, I did view the video of upcoming reviews – loved it, sensational actually!
Why thank you, I am in the mood to try and keep innovating…I look forward to hiring helicopters and a giant squid for the next one…but don’t be disappointed if that doesn’t happen. xx
I won’t SteJ, You never disappoint. I’m certain that you will have something equally evocative! Say humming birds humming in high speed acapella while you read a book to review whilst standing on your head! xx
Challenge accepted! xx
Now this I gotta see! xx 🙂 xx 🙂 xx
So encouraging!
