And then the sun shined We were uplifted The light of nature Quiet but powerful The Light of the Maker Quiet and not always recognized It is an insane world We drift along for eons Seemingly unaware Perform by instinct or intuition Survive as best we can Everyone has some function Hard to understand it all Most abide by expectation Some require mandated rules Order is the normal stand Very few have a problem Many work to get ahead Others just to survive We all depend on each other A collage of activities Order is seldom upended Peacefulness the way of the land Then a crisis may hit us Tornados, hurricanes, floods, Pestilence, fires, and war The norm has been upset As has the way we react Some get out of control Cause more problems than they know Others seek the Light, knowing The quiet power of prayer They analyze and prepare Look to solve the problems No one has all the answers We do the best that we can The desire for order is prevalent The pathway has obstacles Intense people forge the way Knowing Who holds their hand They feel ready for all encounters Knowing that they will overcome Stanski March 24, 2020 ^
