The Sun and Moon

Dear About Time,

Keep up the good work. The girls at Numinbah enjoy reading your paper. Just thought I’d send in some words of comfort to those having a hard time.

Regardless of how we are feeling, days still start and end.

Regardless of what I do, what others do,

What happens to me or what happens to them.

In a time in our lives where control is in someone else’s hands,

It is somewhat comforting to know that no matter what,

There will always be a sunrise and a sunset.

In a world full of change,

Unknowns and choices,

The sun and moon are of great comfort.
