Darkest before light

You're filled with anger and disbelief

you ask why take your pet; she never hurt a leaf

Nothing makes sense; as you sit down and cry

but only the good Lord; can really say why 

Into all our lives; a little rain must fall

and we must be strong; to answer that call

It usually happens; when are guard is down

then your feelings go on; a merry-go-round 

You must hold on tight now; with all your might

because it's always darkest; before the light

Stop and take a look; down deep in your heart

it's there you'll find the strength; to make a new start 

Your little one is now home; in Heaven above

cradled in God's arms; covered with his love

This isn't the end; you'll see her one day

and on that special day; you'll be together to stay 

(John Quealy)
