There’s a light that burns within you <br />that illuminates your soul <br />They say its always been there <br />Steady bright and in control <br />It’s the guiding spirit that drives you <br />As you live your life each day <br />Shining a light on the darkest paths <br />As you walk along the way <br />It’s the light outside the shadows <br />A lonely life can cast <br />But if you look to feel it <br />The darkness will not last <br />There’s a light of love within you <br />That illuminates your face <br /> a gentle warmth that surrounds you <br />When your heart is in that place <br />The brightness of the spirit <br />And all the love you share <br />Embracing it with a passion <br />Nurturing it with care <br />Within the light is life’s meaning <br />Things close to the heart believed <br />A summation of your life time <br />And all things you perceived <br />Live the life within you <br />Let the light shine through <br />Sharing it with others <br /> embraced by love so true <br />the light that burns within you <br />the warmth of life’s desire <br />let it shine on brightly <br />true keeper of the fire<br /><br />William Lindenmuth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-light-within-2/
