Light

One day a light came into my life, A light so pure and meek. It warmed my cheeks and twinkled in my eyes, This light that shone so sweet. The light kept grow day by day, Each day a little brighter. Although at times it did sway, And might heart stopped with each flicker, My light kept shining more and more. I knew it was here to stay. One day the light seemed to be The brightest in my life. But when I searched I couldn’t find it. My light was nowhere in sight. I worried about my small bright light For days it seemed, although it simply hours. Then I heard a cracking voice. My light had lost its power. I suffered shock and disbelief But soon I saw the truth. My little light was no longer bright, It couldn’t warm my cheeks. I knew something for certain though That in the shelter of my heart, The memory of my little light could never grow too weak.
