What About The Light?

If sunlight filters through the windows in the mornings,

What happens at night?

Will the moon shine but never make it to the door

Or will it come knocking

Waiting to be let in

To fill the room with its friendly coldness

Moonlight filtering through the unguarded windows

And creeping down the stairs

To curl up with the children at night

Keep them company in the midst of their dreams.


If the stars shine

Does that mean there will be starlight?

Moonlight guiding it to the places

Showing it where is safe and where is not

Showing it the places that need extra love

The places where it can help


And what of the clouds grandma,

What about them?

Are they the bad guys in the story?

Covering all the light and keeping it from going anywhere?

Or do they have good souls but no control over where they can go

The wind pushing them this way and that

Sending rain to the flowers that need light and air

Working together


Little boy,

All you need to know is that your thoughts matter

And so does all of nature

Mother Nature provides us with things we can not give back

And in return we give hurt and pain

Keep on thinking these thoughts and in return

Maybe you will help everything around you
