Oh Erin....what a gift of God to give you the solace of His light in the middle of these deeply hard times.

Your poem's last stanza captures God's steadfastness so beautifully-

"The thing about daylight is

we rarely stop to consider the wonder

of the sun’s rays warming us

from such a distance,

how miraculous it is that without fail,

no matter the depth and length of the night,

daylight always comes back around."
