Long Days of Light

The longest day has come and gone,

They’ll grow shorter from here,
But darkness is still far away,
While long days linger near.

There are still many days ahead

When light will fill the sky.
There is no need to rush the dark.
It will come by and by.

So, while the days are filled with light,

I’ll greet them with a smile
And let thoughts of the darker days
Wait elsewhere for a while.

For you are master of the light

And darkness holds no fear,
Neither in the summer light nor
The dark half of the year.

2 Samuel 23:4

He is like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like the brightness after rain that brings grass from the earth.’
