A Light in the Darkness: June 26, 2015

In the midst of darkness

a light can still shine through.

A light unto the nations,

Though many have already found this light.

Today light beams forth from our nation.

We may not be the first

We pray we are not the last.

Out of weeks filled with injustice, intolerance, and ignorance

For a country in need of good news

Today light shines forth

America bathes in a rainbow of light.

Today Americans “become something

greater than once they were.”

Today “the highest ideals” ring true:

“love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family.”

Marriage is set free

“No union is more profound”

Fear loses

Hate takes a back seat

Irrational thought subsides

If only for a day

Today is bright

Today is right

Today truth triumphs

Today respect prevails

Equality carries the day

Today Love Wins

“It is so ordered.”
