You'Ll Again See The Light Poem by Ray Hansell

Thank you for your gratitude
And your very kind words
It seldom seems today
That those words are ever heard

They say when the going gets tough
That when the tough get going
But you find out when the going is tough
It's compassion people start showing

People you least expect it from
Astound you with their deeds
They are always there for you
Asking what you need

Many people respond in different ways
That's just the way we are
But one thing you can be sure of
Each person has a wish for you
High upon a mid-night star

Some will share their sadness
By the show of tears
Some will share their counsel
Of pain they suffered through the years

Some will offer words of encouragement
Some will be there to share an embrace
While still others will always try
To put a smile on your face

No matter how people respond
To other people's tragedy
The most important thing of all
Is that they all make sure you see

That they are there for you
To lend a supporting hand
In your heart that should let you know
Exactly where you stand

They share with you in your sadness
Even though they cannot feel your pain
But just to know they think of you
Gives your heart a special feeling just the same

My prayers are always with you
As you struggle along the way
Knowing that He will eventually
Help you see the light of day
