The Ability To Shine

As the sunlight captures the green leaves,
It lights up everything to be seen
When you wonder how everything is going to be…
When those dark clouds of thoughts come rolling in…
When it seems like nothing will ever be alright…
Remember, the sun always returns to light your way
Remember, dark clouds do not always stay!
Sometimes it is possible to be stuck quite a while
But, everyone has the ability inside to shine
To give, to create, to be grateful and to live!
In turn this will shine upon everything around them
So, let yourself shine; Release all that you’ve been given!

"Let yourself shine; - full of optimism, reminds me of the song "This little light of mine"
