My Light.

We are like the stars in the heaven.

Scattered amongst the dark sky,

casting our light out, hoping that we bring a smile to those who see us.

Often overlooked but we continue to shine, even when the clouds of our lives

hide our light from view.

We are no more permanent than the stars in the heaven.

But often our light continues to shine after the star is long gone.

We often feel that we are unimportant.

But our stars are often used by our loved ones for direction,

just like the sailors who are guided by the stars to find their way home.

We are all cast together in this world that is our sky and our universe.

There are those of us that our light will endure long after we are gone,

and there will be those that will continue to allow the clouds to hide their light.

It is up to all of us to shine as brightly as we can,

and like the stars in the heaven assure those around us that we are always there watching over them.

We are the stars that inspire poetry, music and dreams and wishes.

And when we think we are alone, look around you,  you are surrounded

by other stars just like you.

Find comfort in your place in the heavens, find peace in knowing your light brings comfort to others.
