Light
My favourite light that's lived for me
Has shone brightly, forever be
She's shone upon my face since birth
Her glowing warmth around my girth
–
Tonight when I saw my birthing light
She told me that, she was not quite right
As soon as her words did come to me
I noticed her light shone differently
–
She shone as always she had shone
Her warmth to me had not quite gone
But her words that she bestowed on me
Were all too plain for me to see
–
Her light had darkened just a jot
For me her light, I could liveth, without, not
She told me her light would never wane
As steel my soul, she formed for me, became
–
She said together we will always be
She'd shone her light, her light for me
For shining her light from deep within
Her light for me my life begins
–
She told me, worry not for my light
My light will continue, to shine so bright
It's within you now to shine for me
Forever time, forever be
–
So take my light and make it your own
Serve it well but not alone
Share my light with all you love
Use it well as if heavens above
–
I looked upon the light that shone
And saw just how my life had gone
A tethered soul by light from her
From babe to child, to man to Sir
–
So her light may shine for a purpose sake
Her light doth shine for me to make
To take her light and feed it so
To weave her light and make it glow
–
This light may pass from her to me
Her light will shine so endlessly
For me to take this light shone so
To pass it on and make it grow.
–
So I'm frightened not to take this light
To keep it safe from darkness and from night
Her light is mine to wax and wane
To make her light from whence it came.
