The children of the densely treed forest dozed, curled about one another among twisted roots, snuggled near the base of a tree. They could hear her words of wisdom, words whispered through the night among drowsy thoughts in their sleepy minds. Mother Nature knew her children and smiled down on them, nurturing as they slumbered.
“…and there will be those days of sunlight … and there will be those nights of darkness. Do not fear the darkness of the night, for in the morning of the day, 
the sun will shine again.
But when Darkness steals into your life to take from you, your precious heart of love … then know (and she reached out and embraced them all – every single one) … I will be there to shine for you as the sun shines on a blue-skied day. I will not let the Darkness carry you away.
Rest easy on those night of days. Know all will be well, little ones … all will be well.”
And the children of the forest slept, safe in her loving arms for another night of rest!
“Believe that in your night of days When Darkness enters in, There is hope do not despair The light will shine again.”*
