Bronwen Balmos Poet Rhyme

Ray of Light

Ray of light
Shining bright
Help me feel 
Beyond the steel
of the compassionless face
Lacking grace

Ray of light 
Ignite the flight
of the innocent child
Whose carefree wilds
Embody the dreams 
of grown-up means

Ray of light
Hold him tight
Embrace his laughter
For ever after
Promise his plight 
Will be made right

Ray of light
Help me fight
Show me how
To unfurrow his brow
To contain the rage
Help him better gage
How to express
Without excess
His honest feelings;
their true meanings

Ray of light
Bring to its height
His true potential
Its value; exponential
Never again, shall he know
The cruelty, others show
Not understanding
Why they were branding
Him a freak

Carol Sunshine Brown January 3, 2012 at 10:45 AM Congrats on making it through the 1st round of PoetrySoup International Contest. Wishing you the best Browen. Love, Carol Bronwen Balmos January 3, 2012 at 8:16 PM Thank you Carol. This is one I was inspired to write after a negative encounter between my son and a neighbor. One of those that flows from mind to pen, effortlessly. My son has ADHD and anxiety disorder and let's just say many people out there are unable to put themselves in his shoes and understand what he goes through on a daily basis. He inspires me.
