Just When You Thought The World Was Over

I am having trouble this morning attaching a picture of a beautiful butterfly that I saw with the caption, “Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.” I love this picture and will try to attach it later. The butterfly and caption say it all. Another great quote comes to mind, “It is always darkest before the dawn.” How often that plays out in life that the dark nights of the soul precede the most glorious sunrises. Do hold on tight through whatever dark and stormy night you might experience to hear the birdsongs’ wondrous concert announcing a new and better day. Sing it Mockingbird and Dionne.

“No Night So Long”

An old friend told me that you just ran out of chances

One too many dances down the narrow street of time

Remember how we faced the world like two tramps shining

Please don’t let that magic ever end

Don’t forget what we learned living on the wind

No night so long that you can’t find the day

No day so wrong that you can’t find your way

Call on me like you used to do

I still can show you who you are

That day the long and dusty road had us both crying

We used up our last joke just to try and smile again

And only now I find I know what we were learning

Though it’s dark and you have traveled far

Every long night gives you one bright shining star

No night so long that you can’t find the day

No day so wrong that you can’t find your way

Call on me like you used to do

I still can show you who you are

Deep in the night you know that you’ll find

Deep in the night you know that you’ll find the way

No night so long that you can’t find the day

No day so wrong that you can’t find your way

Call on me like you used to do

I still can show you who you are

No night so long that you can’t find the day

No day so wrong that you can’t find your way

No night so long that you can’t find the day

No day so wrong that you can’t find your way

No night so long that you can’t find the day

No day so wrong that you can’t find your way
