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
