When darkness seems to engulf all around you.
You can be the light
When your heart beat rapidly like a Banjo drum.
You can be the light
When all thoughts of courage are far between.
You can be the light
When hopes, seems to fade into oblivion.
You can be the light.
In the midst of gloom and despair.
You can be the light
In the midst of darkness and tyranny.
You can be the light.
When you are the light,
your life, and path are secured.
Many times, I’ve looked to others to do something about a situation or things I find appalling, and when I realise nobody is willing to do anything, I step in! I’m generalizing here. Aptly put, what I’m trying to say is this, we can make a change… Things can get better if everyone puts in their quota to make this world a better place. Just a kind word, a smile, little coins here and there, can actually make a huge difference.
Have a pleasant, stress free weekend everyone… Here in the UK, we’re having a long weekend, there ‘s a bank holiday on Monday! (wooohooo!)
Live well dear friends.
Much love, always!

Beautifully said, Seyi 🙂
Thanks Celestine, I left a comment on your blog just now and it seemed to have disappeared! The same on Alastair blog, did you see my comment?
No dear, I did not see it. Don’t know what is happening

Light of the world–that’s it! Another inspirational post, sis. Enjoy your weekend and the holiday ahead.

Thanks for sharing, Seyi; your words made me smile. It’s so true and easy to lose sight of — we can all make a difference. No matter how small it may seem, every small act adds up. Best wishes for a wonderful (long!) weekend right back at you…
Cheers,
Jaime
Thank you Jaime, you’re so kind! I wish you a happy and restful weekend!
Much love. 🙂
I understand what you are saying…..but look around the world. Is the world getting better or worse? The biggest thing going on that you don’t read about in the news……is God is re-creating. Isn’t that good news?
When His last sheep comes to the cross……this old world will be destroyed and Eden will be restored. Now that’s good news.
You’re right Ike, and we must transfer that hope to others as much as we could! Let’s spread the Good news – love of God! Thanks for stopping by, I always appreciate it!
Blessings. 🙂
The photo goes perfect with your post!
Have a fabulous 3 day weekend 🙂
We won’t get a 3 day weekend until the end of the month. It will be the first 3 day weekend for us since the New Year. I can’t wait!
Thanks Rosy! I’m basking in my three day holiday… the kids are screaming downstairs but it’s still okay! I’m sure you’re looking forward to your 3 day weekend! Enjoy the rest of your day!
Cheers. 🙂

Liking the poem, liking the poem a lot, so I won’t hit the like button. After reading your poem, Sandra, I found a few rhythmic tunes dancing in my thoughts, and found myself singing a number of phrases from the words you’ve written below the poem. I may come back to write something yet, after I catch up on a bunch of reading and comments… Have a good week!
And you too dear friend! I’m sure you can whip something out quickly!! Thanks for stopping by, it’s appreciated it!

Having bad thoughts about someone or something brings you pain both mentally and emotionally. Negative emotions can overwhelm you in a second, so keep your mind open and
When darkness seems to engulf all around you. You can be the light :¸ *• ♬
You’re right, it’s easy to be moved by offensive people but we have to let go for our own sakes.
