The Light Within

You’ve shut your mind to love’s light
Open your eyes there’s hope in sight
There’s no need to be weary
Dry your eyes don’t be all teary
Hope waits just reach out your hand
Love leads you to the Promised Land
Lift your spirits up and don’t give in
There is joy inside look within

You are down and you feel blue
Just why do you feel as you do
Somewhere chances will appear
There’s no need to give into fear
Life is for living you know
If only you can let fear go
Inside you the light shines bright
Just reach within to touch the light

You’ve let fear dictate to you
But if you try you’ll come on through
Hope’s not dead it speaks your name
And there inside still burns truth’s flame
Don’t give up, give it a try
Your mind asks you to do or die
You can win if you want to
Give up your fear and you’ll get through

Marsha



Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

Utterly awesome darling girl....

Such a positive message for any of us to
take to heart and remember...

There is alway hope somewhere within the
rainbow of tears falling to earth...

Just make a wish and it will come true..

Don’t give up, give it a try
Your mind asks you to do or die
You can win if you want to
Give up your fear and you’ll get through

I love this advice, Marsha...
I have been trying this and so far (fingers crossed) it has worked

Really liked this poem - I'm a positive attitude buff.  Good pep-talk from the Soul, this writing.  Trust you are listening.

Best Regards,

Sheila
