Don’t tell them everything
is going to be great.
There’s no telling
what may happen, mate.
That’s the adventure.
With tragedy close at hand,
and banana peel humor,
life’s anything but bland.
Instead, tell them nothing
can shade the redeeming
good of God, ever shining,
that even in the night,
they can find the light..
