THERE IS A LIGHT

There is a light. It gives you light.
Day in, day out.
There is a light. It gives you sight.
Night after night.
There is a light. It guides your path.
Whether left or right.
There is a light. It follows your heart.
Beat after beat. Life after life.
There is a light. It leads your way.
Day after day.
There is a light. Up from above.
It gives you the impulse.
To be good, healthy and wise.
There is a light. It gives you energy.
It drives you around.
To make you full of life.
There is a light. It makes you see.
The beauty inside out.
There is a light. You are the light.
Why not shine?
Make your light shine bright.
There is a light. It gives you love.
It overflows. Love spreads out.
There is a light. It guides your thoughts.
It gives you wisdom.
It educates.
It makes you prosper.
There is a light. Light is everywhere.
It gives you hope.
There is a light.
It makes you go.
It makes you stop.
There is a light. It looks like a rainbow,
a kaleidoscope.
There is a light. It magnifies an object,
pea-size or otherwise.
There is a light. God-made. Man-made.
The sun, the moon, the stars in
our heavenly skies.
The bulb, the lamp, the candle,
the fire on a gloomy night.
There is a light. There is always a light.
There will always be a light.
