When I was a teenager, someone told me about this poem written by a Jewish prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp during the Holocaust. BarlowGirl based one of their songs on the poem and you can read the lyrics here.
It has always stayed with me because I thought it was so powerful. I, of course, cannot even imagine being in a concentration camp, but the fact that someone who was could find the strength to have hope is such an encouraging perspective!
The sun may not be shining, but I know it is there.
I will always believe in love, no matter what I am feeling.
Love is the answer, it is the whole point.
Blessings!
