You are my light, <br /> <br />my kindled lamp of guidance <br /> <br />like a twinkling star <br /> <br />at the mercy of a troubled night; <br /> <br />you take me closer and closer <br /> <br />to the manger of hopes <br /> <br />and dreams <br /> <br />where success rocks in a cradle <br /> <br />with satiating gifts <br /> <br />of gold, frankincense and myrrh. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />My stumbling path, <br /> <br />though battered and bruised <br /> <br />in the nature of things, <br /> <br />keeps me hurrying along; <br /> <br />I am unmindful of stumbling stones <br /> <br />with my heart pulsating through my bones, <br /> <br />relentless in its pursuit <br /> <br />to reach for success. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />And in the eye of my destiny <br /> <br />I will watch the vista <br /> <br />or the panorama, <br /> <br />with determination not to falter; <br /> <br />holding on to you <br /> <br />because you are my light <br /> <br />my kindled lamp of guidance <br /> <br />always and always.<br /><br />Leonard Dabydeen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-are-my-light-6/
