The Lightness of My Soul

Times, too often, I forget, that I was not born to bring darkness to our planet. But I am to lighten all souls, who exist upon it. I do forget, and need to meditate upon it. Surely, problems are universal and do exist. No need for us wear chains upon our wrists! We came from the light, and things of great beauty and might. It’s no help to this world, to make it all frightening like a windy, stormy night. I see the long, winding path ahead. May I fill it with hope and sunshine, till I am dead. 12/18/2022

There are two paths in life to choose, light and darkness, thankfully the majority choose the light. Tom
