Light
I have fought righteous things.
I have heard words that sting.
I have witnessed horrific loss.
Maintained faith from the cross.
I have cried waterfalls of tears
Still found laughter through the years.
I have made mistakes as we all do.
Done my best to learn what is new.
I have retreated at times to be alone
Still lucky to have friends to phone.
I have failed at plenty but tried even more
To keep living truth for what living is for.
I have seen the darkest places to see
But I will always keep light shining in me.
