The guiding light
The beautiful light guides the way
I can’t seem to track it
I go all night and all-day
It's difficult I must admit
But the light won’t get away
It guides me through life through death and through time
It inspires me to make this rhyme
If I fall and hear its chime
Telling me to continue the climb
The light was you
That got me through
About this poem
Kind of a representation of how we get through life with people by our side
