A Great Place To Be

Consider the tiny little seed.
Deep in the soil, it lies buried,
and then, shoots up into a tree.
Yes, the dark is a great place to be.

Consider the ugly piece of coal.
Pushed under the layers of the earth,
into a diamond, it changes radically.
Yes, the dark is a great place to be.

Consider the no-good speck of grit.
Trapped inside an oyster in the sea,
it transforms into a pearl so shiny.
Yes, the dark is a great place to be.

Consider God’s greatest creation.
Encased in the womb, all alone,
it grows to become a cherubic baby.
Yes, the dark is a great place to be.

The idea of the dark is indeed terrifying.
It’s terribly perplexing and frightening.
But it certainly is the best place to be
for that’s where your light shines brightly.
