A Light

For when you leave this place so young Young you’ll always be Never knowing earthly pain Not a worry you will see You only ever knew a light A kind so good and true The Lord would never waste it This golden, sparkling hue When you have a light so bright Its shine you can’t contain When you leave this dreary place That light, it shall remain It travels all around this world Spreading joy and love It grows in the ones you left behind Giving light from up above You see, the light you had on earth It never goes away We simply take it in ourselves So in our hearts you’ll stay

We are seeing so many young people getting killed in accidents and murder these days that it is sad to think about what is happening. Your poem says so much about the situation of our times. I enjoyed reading it. Sara

Thank you. We have had so many young people leaving this world too soon in my little community. It breaks my heart
