Self-Existent Light
We all have light inside us.
The good Lord put it there.
Sadly there are many
whose light they do not share.
Each person’s light will flicker
deep inside the soul.
Choosing to ignore it,
you cannot be made whole.
You never want to look into
the eyes of those whose light
died out (or never even flamed).
Their eyes are black as night.
We can’t expect just overnight
our light to brightly glow.
We have to nurture it each day
and help the light to grow.
I’ve looked into the eyes of those
whose light shines easily,
Their self -existent light shines love
to everyone they see!
