In a time of great darkness, 

Look toward the smallest glint of light,

A faraway star,

a candle flame,

a smile from a stranger, 

A hug from a friend, 

A word of encouragement,

Light brings hope 

and hope brings joy

And joy brings love

And joy brings peace.

These are not my words but I enjoyed them so much I thought I would share. They are from a Christmas card I received by Artists to Watch.
