Light Bringer

 

By Bud Lemire

As life slips through my finger
I try my best to make it linger
People told me I'm not much of a singer
Still I sing, but I was more of a Light Bringer

I bring light, to those who can't get out
I shine on those, who still live in doubt
I had my own struggles along the way
It never stopped me from making their day

Each one of us carry, a light inside of us
It comes out when we need it, you just have to trust
When we do something that feels right, it's there
It's felt the strongest, when we truly care

The light we have, comes from the soul
The more we use it, the more we feel whole
It's a large part, of what makes us who we are
People will see us, as a brightly shining star

It's a gift, that was given to us since birth
It was even there, before we came to Earth
Believe in this gift, believe in this light
It will guide you on this journey, into everything right

This light we carry inside us, guides us through
our life. It shows us right from wrong,
and shows us what to do, and what not to do.
You can feel it, even when sometimes
you may think it is gone. It never
leaves you. It will always be a part of you.
The more you use it, the stronger it gets.
It's used when you give freely of yourself.
You will feel it when it's needed
most, and you will know, the good
it does.
