In the realm of shadows, where darkness resides,
A hidden solace, a light gently abides.

When sorrow befalls us, in depths of despair,
This gleaming radiance, tenderly it's there.

Through tears that fall like raindrops in the night,
A glimmer of hope, a flicker burning bright.

For in the gloom, where sadness casts its pall,
A beacon emerges, embracing us all.

In moments of anguish, when hearts are torn,
The light draws near, its brilliance reborn.

It whispers softly, like a gentle breeze,
Guiding our steps with a comforting ease

It dances within us, a fragile flame,
Dispelling the darkness, naming no blame.

Its warmth touches wounds, healing pain's cruel sting,
Illumining paths where resilience takes wing.

For in the depths of our darkest plight,
A profound truth emerges, shining so bright.

That sorrow and sadness, though heavy they weigh,
Can lead us to grace, to a new kind of day.

In trials and tribulations, we find our might,
To rise from the ashes, to reclaim our light.

For in the depths of despair, we discover,
A resilience within, a spirit to uncover.

So let us not fear the shrouds of the night,
For the light of redemption is our birthright.

In sorrow's embrace, we'll find the strength to cope,
And emerge stronger, with hearts full of hope.

For truly, it is in the darkness we see,
The light that resides within you and me.

In sorrow's embrace, we discover the way,
To shine with a brilliance that never will sway.
