A light went out today. A light went out way too early.
I personally had not seen this light, but someone close to me had.
Had seen the light for many many years.
A light went out today. A light went out way too early.
What do you say to someone when a light goes out in this manner?
What do you say to someone when the light had always shined so bright for that person and many others?
What do you say....when a light goes dark for no knowable reason?
A light went out today. A light went out way too early.
As I sit and write this, I wonder...I wonder what to say, what to do and how to help?
Sometimes you can't help.
Sometimes the best thing to do is not help.
Sometimes just being there and listening and taking care of things that might be neglected is the best way to help.
A light went out today. A light went out way too early.
As my mind fights to find the next words to say, the next words to write, the next anything to do...I think now about how to help those that still have a light.
But a light that for some reason might be dimming.
Lights that should be brighter than any star in the sky.
Lights that should be so full of life.
A light went out today. A light went out way too early.
We can no longer be selfish in our lives.
We can no longer neglect those around us.
We must find ways to keep those lights bright.
We must find ways to show the dimming lights a way to be bright again.
A light went out today. A light went out way too early.
I now know what I must do in my life to make sure a light in my life stays bright.
I now know the further sacrifice that I must make.
I now know that I have to continue to fight for a better life for any that I encounter in my life.
If I can touch but just a few, maybe...maybe...maybe...many more lights will find their brightness again.
A light went out today. A light went out way too early.
