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.
