Shine

Whether it is winter or spring Whether it is summer or fall Let your radiance be ringing Like the blow of a cannonball The bigots all come in number Trying to make you their plunder Trying to suppress your glimmer Trying to blow away your ember But don't let them blow away your existence For you are a gold shimmering You are a jewel full of brilliance You are a ray glittering For no one wastes time on something Unless that thing has a value So you are that one thing With a radiance and hue
