Shine

Shine How I wished I was a lightbulb Or a fire, or a flame Things would surely be much better Life would never be the same I would shine to tease the darkness I would burn without a fear Never even would I flicker Gloominess would disappear Shadows would not get permission To come and do their eerie dance Nor would sadness be invited Moodiness wouldn’t stand a chance All around me I would brighten With my radiance and glare I’d be beaming and exuding Cheerfulness enough to share Charm and wit would be companions Both of them would set the mood If that was the case, I promise I would certainly feel good.
