Light Up Your Life

Glimpses of light are what keep me fighting
through the pain of the dark, 
Those capsules of time are what warm my heart,
Where the light conkers the night driving out the dark, 
This stops me from falling apart.

Like shimmers of hope, the glistening stars are balls of light 
that fight against the night,
Freckles puncturing the abyss despite 
the blanket of the darkest eclipse,
The light of the stars push through 
their glitz cannot be dismissed.

Day and night are like representations 
of the darkness and light in our life,
Despite how much darkness may plague your life,  
Just like the darkness of the nights sky 
The moon is like a big bright balloon and bright the stars shimmer and shine
soon on the horizon the sun will burn through the darkness
as it slowly rise, 
Dispersing the darkness of the night, just like the darkness that plagues your life,
The sun will rise with the brightest light.

Light will always shine through even on the darkest night you'll see a star or two,
No matter the pain or suffering you're experiencing look for those glimmers of hope, that's the light shimmering, 
Those small speckles save me daily,
That's what pulls me through, look for those lights in your life and it will truly save you too.
