My Light

I see within me a light,
A light I try to explain.
I know it is good.
I feel this.
My light surrounds me
And all I know is good.
But there is a Shadow,
Which is bad.
It tries to cover my light
And my light comes through.
My light is Love, Faith and Goodness.
The Shadow is Doubt, Distrust, Suspicion, and Greed.
I have a soul
That looks for the light.
One must have a light to
Be able to see through their Dark.
I hope to see a Light in you.
