The guiding light

Jeremy Efaw

Free verse
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
