Light in the Dark Kaili Goodrich I see a truck on fire; I see a car on fire. What can I do? Our world is falling to ruins right in front of me and you. Our world falls down, but we climb up; the old dog dies but life brings a pup. So don’t get lost in our world’s ruins, our world’s dark ruins, our world’s lonely ruins. Grief is important— grief is a part, a part of who I am. I look back and see happy memories. I look forward and see a future for me. I won’t get lost tonight.
