A Light Forever

Though shadows come
with such terrible darkness,
the heart can still feel love's fire,
it never dies no matter how we change,
for God is the one who brings its flame.

Tomorrow is never more than a hope,
a gift we receive with the dawn,
today is the present we can rejoice
enjoying its treasure every second.

Sadness comes in its own schedule,
but we never have to feel alone,
for the soul is felt by so many,
touched and eternal,
shining though we are weary,
a garment that will last forever.

Rest in the quiet peace of knowing,
how many voices are lifting up
the praise for one more life
which Heaven created
and will shine constantly
as a star cherished
never to be forgotten,
always special and a blessing.
