The Light Protects Me


At daybreak, the world seems at ease
 
At twilight, the horrors of nightmare seize;
 
They seize the light and lock it away,
 
They throw away the hope, they will leave you astray.
 
So when posed with the question: What can you live without?
 
Light my friend, without a a hint of doubt.
 
 
 
Light does not judge, for it shines equally upon everyone 
 
Light shows the greatest compassion, for it does not shun
 
At daybreak each day, the world is set aflame
 
Casting away those nightmares, and painting a beautiful picture in the sky's frame 
 
Flooding the sky with yellows, oranges and reds
 
Making me stare out my window in wonder next to my bed
 
 
 
You see the daylight gives a second chance
 
It reminds us that with every darkness, light takes a stance
 
Even when its subdued by darkness, it shines always
 
Even if the light seems gone, it awaits you the next day
 
So if life is darkening all around you my friend
 
Remember, the light will help you, the light shall make that darkness end
 
 
 
 
 
You see you can keep your family, your youth and your hope
 
But at daylight, ill always have my light to help me cope
 
I have my unbiased judge, i have my greatest companion
 
Ill have my source of heat, my protective dragon
 
My light will burn away my fear, my light will keep me at rest
 
You can not hurt me when i'm so very blessed
 
 
 
Ill end on this on a final note, one final thought
 
But what happens when your things are caught my the dark?
