OUT OF THE TUNNEL 163

                                                              
                                            OUT OF THE TUNNEL  163

                      An unknown writer has written...
                      "Some of us may enter the light
                      sooner than others. But we are
                      all moving toward it"
                     
                      A train in a tunnel does not bring each passenger
                      out of the tunnel, out of the darkness, into the light 
                      of day, at the same time

                      Those in the front part of the train are
                      the first to see a glimmer of light.
                           
                       They leave the tunnel behind while many
                       of their fellow passengers are still in the dark.

                       Even so, while the train is still in the tunnel
                       all are moving towards the light.

                       So, all who have started on the journey
                       towards health of body and soul may
                       reach their destination as long as they
                       continue toward the light.
                                           
                                     Out of the tunnel                     
                                     Into the light
                                     Hello to sunshine
                                     Goodbye to the night
                                     Farewell to wrongdoing
                                     If we cling to the right
                                     Victory is ours
                                     If we'll stay in the fight
