The Light
In all of us there is a light
within
our heart and soul.
At first
it shines both clear and bright
untouched
within the fold.
Until
our lives become too full
of living
day by day.
Caught
up in trying to survive
we somehow
lose our way.
And that
is when the darkness grows
within
the seed of fear.
It feeds
upon lost hope and doubt
and grows
with every tear.
The light
that once was bright is dimmed
and trust
we start to lose.
For we
forget the loving truth,
we simply
have to choose.
And when
our hearts are open to
receive
this clear insight.
The darkness
lifts and disappears
because
we choose
the Light.
