Attrition

We have to win by attrition
The enemy is strong
But love is stronger
Even as we are bogged
In self doubt
We are stronger
Than we think
Even when it seems
The darkness is 
Overwhelming
Even the most dim of light
Can shine through 
The haze and shine
Through the night
Even as strong
As the enemy is
Even the most 
Smallest light
Can drive away 
The dark
Can drive away
The pain
Our light is a beacon
A beacon in the dark
For all to see
Chasing away the darkness
Chasing away the night
A beacon to all
Combining our hearts
Until the light is so 
Overwhelming
That all can't help
But stop and look
And take notice

That's a beautiful poem with a great positive message :)
Loved the way you created a poem over the symbol of light, am I watching the influence on your writing of a Christian symbolic system? :)
Loved it !

Yep. Even though I am not religious and I try not to judge people based upon preconceived ideas or notions that are placed on certain people by other organized religions at the same time I have a strong belief in God and even the healing power of Jesus
