This Little Light

There was once a light that danced on the water Happiness would always surround her this light that would sing a happy tune Never had any enemy, never lived in gloom so breathtakingly effortless her beauty from within but someone saw the light and wanted it all for him He stole it and hid it and kept it away This light never saw the sun or the water again this light so bright she used to be but now she began to dim very slowly So tired and lonely she began to cry all she longed for was love and to be outside the light she was kept away so long That when she was no longer beautiful, he finally let her go But the light was all burnt out tired and without hope There was once a light, who danced on the water, But this light has gone out from the wicked heart of another
