Poem: Shine

Shine your light, though the road is dim,
Let hope arise from the soul within.
Even in shadows, even in doubt,
There’s a fire in you that won’t burn out.

Shine your light on the weary path,
A spark of warmth, a gentle laugh.
A beacon bright when the skies turn gray—
A guide for hearts that’ve lost their way.

Don’t wait for stars to align just right;
You were made to glow in the darkest night.
With every truth your voice has told,
You cast new flames where the world grows cold.

Shine your light through every storm,
Through joy, through grief, through every form.
You never know who walks alone,
Who finds their courage from your own.

So raise it high, that silent flame,
And know the world is not the same.
You matter more than you believe—
In shining, you help others see.

Thank-you for reading.

Much love and Light,

Brenda Marie Fluharty
