night lessons

The broken will always be able to love harder than most.  
Once you've been in the dark, you learn to appreciate everything  
that shines.
Anonymous - purelovequotes.com    
   
it may be your night of cancer,  
or your night of endless pain:  
you are looking for an answer,  
but the dark rocks you again.  
   
in your diminishing courage,  
you have longed for better days;  
but this is the night your marriage  
has been gutted by a blaze.  
   
in the dark, your swelling anger  
with vile darts inflicts your soul;  
fading light and rising danger  
cast you in life's rock-and-roll.  
   
wait! a better sun is rising;  
these night lessons are for faith.  
fall not into compromising:  
life shall triumph over death.
