There is so much hurt and pain in this world. So much unfairness and suffering. So many people without the basics. So many people alone and simply craving someone to care about them. Not even to love them...to simply care about them. Show them some kindness. Give them a gentle touch.
So many people.
Children being beaten to death and living in squalor conditions. A parent who has never had love incapable of showing love even as they probably wished they'd found it during the act which created life. Opening your door to quiet realizing that the only way someone might hear you is if you make a noise. A loud, banging noise or a thump...like a body falling to the floor.
So much hurt and pain in this world. So much unfairness and suffering. So many people without the basics.
Many of us want something.
Many more of us need something.
The most important things are the simplest things.
The tone of a voice.
The words shared.
A simple touch on the shoulder.
A quiet hug.
A look in the eye accompanied by a smile.
Care.
Concern.
Dark days need to be broken by the sun sometimes.
Because for some...it might be the only sun they see for a long, long time.
Be the sun.
