what if
as we sit in the darkness,
trying to figure out how to piece it all back together
again
each time we feel the pain of the losing
what if,
as the darkness threatens to envelop us,
and all the light that we cannot see
is just out of our reach
what if
the one good thing we can do
the smile we can give
the hand we can hold
the love we can share–
what if
that is how the Light gets in?
