#12 of Unimportant Verse About Important People


When a light so far above me shines down,

I lose my footing, stop, look around,

and for once, see my way lit before me.

Through you,

I learn how I move.

Through you,

I see how I act.

Through you,

I judge myself.

When a light so far above me shines down,

I turn my face to the warmth and bask,

drawing strength, assured in my steps.

Through you,

I recognize my failings.

Through you,

I understand my strengths.

Through you,

I gain perspective.

When a light so far above me shines down,

I reach toward it and grasp at what I can,

hoping I might somehow gain my own luster.

Through you,

I find my place.

Through you,

I gain surety.

Through you,

I learn who I am.

When a light so far above me shines down,

and I fail to shine myself,

I hope only to reflect what I can.
