Today, I’d like to share a poem I’ve made while reflecting upon the dark situation where many people are. These are the people who are in deep poverty, those who are abandoned, those who are sick and have no one to help them.
It is very difficult to reconcile such suffering with our faith in a Good and Compassionate God. But somehow, it is precisely this darkness that helps us believe that there is something more to this life. Sometimes, it is darkness that gives way to the light of faith.
It’s Dark, It’s Cold, It’s Sad
It’s dark
It’s dark
It’s dark,
And yet it’s because it’s dark
That I have hoped for light.
It’s cold
It’s cold
It’s cold
And yet it’s because it’s cold
That I have hoped for warmth.
It’s sad
It’s sad
It’s sad
And yet it’s because it’s sad
That I have hoped for joy.
Find hope in your darkest hour.
