BE GRATEFUL FOR THE DARK DAYS
A lyric from other days that seems appropriate at this time.
...................................................................................
Be grateful for the dark days,
And when they come along
Don't waste your time in worrying
Just how it all went wrong.
Be grateful for the dark days
And when they come in sight
Don't devote time despairing
Whether things will turn out right.
Be grateful for the dark days,
They're here to make you glad
When everything about them
Makes you think that life is bad.
Folk will always seek the sun,
To help the soul feel good,
But who'd have sunshine every day
Even if they could?
We need the darker side of life
To make us strong, I guess,
And help us all appreciate
Our lives when we have less.
Be grateful for the dark days -
The dark days are soon past;
They come along to show us
That the worst times never last.
Be grateful for the dark days,
They lead you to the rest;;
As sure as night gives way to day,
They take you to the best.
Be grateful for the dark days
That soon will fade from sight;
Why waste your time in worrying
When you're led towards the light?!

Brian - I agree about the "downers" that are met on the site. The
human spirit is meant for optimism.
JC - unlike your good self, i enjoy autumn - for a variety of reasons,
but mainly because it represents the pause between the departure
of the old and arrival of the new - as if nature is taking a deep
breath before getting back to work, even here in the heart of a great city.
Thanks to all those taking the trouble to like this little hymn to hope!..
