Light

wish I gave this to her before she died

Inside the light shines

 

But it gets cloudy sometimes

 

I am distracted by the sound of thunder

 

Often I second guess and wonder

 

Did I tell you how much it meant?

 

For I remember you being there

 

In the sunshine and the storms

 

When the world was pleasant

 

When it was too much to bear

 

Yet I only noticed your criticism

 

I now know why you disapproved

 

I now understand the somber mood

 

For it was your soul bearing the brunt

 

As if to shield me from yet another stunt

 

My self absorbed fog

 

My righteous delusion

 

Now, I am learning my last lesson from you

 

Tend to the light inside let the outside draw its own conclusion

 

A message easily ignored but very true

 

The power of selflessness

 

I will keep that light burning bright

 

And I have you to thank for all its might.
