Underneath this canopy of cloudy days,
we wonder if the sun will turn again to shine;
yet somehow this builds character
with "seek and ye shall find".
What we're outright given
lends an air of complacency,
while denial can draw us out
to find that which we really need.
Building strength of character
that lives inside the core
draws from true necessity
as we seek to restore.
So exists the challenge
when things around are dreary;
to discover and uncover
what brings relief to the weary.
We can find a candle
midst this yearning that we're living
and bring light to a darkened world -
and find hope in the giving.
