Be the Light

Wearing your heart upon your sleeve is not a fashion statement

It is simply who you are; a loving, nurturing, genuine soul

Please do showcase your light, be the lantern to lead the way

So others can be inspired by your example of kindness

Never be discouraged by anyone who cannot understand

Or who tries to mistake your kindness for weakness

Always be discerning; as there will always be a predator

Lurking to take advantage of an unsuspecting spirit

Immerse yourself in the light of love that you are

Never waiver from your demeanor; keep your eyes open

Joy is such a simple state of being that when you embrace it

No amount of negativity that is thrown your way will

Be able to bring you down, sway you or prevail
