The Light In My Darkness-Collaboration With Jimmy Anderson

It all begins with only a twinklin' shimmer of light.
The sin begins to get dimmer and I felt the spark ignite!
So bright, it lit a path inside the crevice of my soul
So I didn't fight, but started to laugh at the light that filled my dark hole.
Such brilliant radiance like I have never experienced before.
Your words were like a cadence, and your passion I couldn't ignore
From above you gave me love at times I can't quite express.
You; I can't get enough of, for you are the light in my darkness!!

Of course there are times when still I falter,
But always you’re the first to sacrifice your heart at the altar.
There are days when the darkness hides their lies
And I lose what is real before my eyes
Yet, you are the first to pick me up and forgive
And point out all I have left for to live.
That rhythm of your words and the love inside your voice
Still gives me each day a reason to rejoice. 

sorry this took way to long to put up jimmy!

Madison, you have found a wonderful friend in Jimmy. He unerstands the need to sacrifice in an effort to uplift others. I can't tell who wrote which verse. Together, these verses flow seemlessly and inspire the reader with the kind of hope that only true friendship can provide. Thanks so much for sharing this and tell Jimmy his "Sis" is proud of both of youfor this awesome collaboration. Love and blessings, Carolyn
