Light of Love

Light of love as others may say Would blaze the best in you throught out the way No winds, no seas, no roaring from the dim 'Cos it would shine for you as a beam. For all my life I have come to hide For the perfect love others seek to find That's why I thought myself to be brave and might To prove that "I don't need that kind of light." With all those years of life's demise I made myself pure and wise As I conquer in the life of fight I would rather say, "I don't need that kind of light." It might be fear, it might be scruple But it popped up easily like a bubble Maybe it was huge, maybe it was heavy But with you, I conquered it very lightly. You taught me how to be Courageous enough to be me Not to run away from reality And embrace the light of love tenderly.
