‘I was born with the meaning of home running through my veins.’ - Lauren Eden 
**************************************************************

Light

with home rule in my veins
paternal care not vain words
 motherly hug a retreat
 sisterly smiles like rays of sunshine
 the mind free to wander like the breeze
early to rise a routine
offering devotions a sheer joy
the glow of inner light
now illumines my journey of life
goads me to the rightful path
ever keeps me company
as a benign guardian
as I steadily trail my footsteps
during the midday sunshine
in the solemn silence of sunset
alongside solitary moonlit footpaths
and in the darkness of night
when I retreat home
 to lay my head back on my pillow

Oh you did this so well I didn't even think to add the word light into my poem.

Thank your, dear poetess, for visiting my page and appreciating the poem. It`s my first attempt at Suzette Prime. Somehow I was not drawn to it, but now realise that it is much easier than other poetry forms. Wish you a blessed day.
