A light never shines alone.
Yet the sun sets knowing the moon and stars will soon take its place.
As it brings light in time of darkness to the children of the world
that nothing can ever erase.
Darkness seems to last so long
yet we know it cant last forever,
God soon sends us a spark so bright.
We realize God really isn't that far away,
He comes diminishing all darkness within us, restoring and renewing our light.
When we trust in Him,
hope for things beyond understanding,
and believe in his word.
That is what he loves to see,
never giving up I know he loves both you and me.
How could I deny him he gave his life so free,
just open your heart to him his love is soon very easy to see.
"Cast your fears upon him, or thrust them upon a rolling sea.
When life seems so dark and lonely,
he will become your best friend,
then you are a child of the king forever his only.
I stand for him I trust in all his ways,
I have no doubts I know I was born for a purpose
I was born to believe.
By faith his promise I shall receive.
If we only flicker a prayer
to renew our fire for him,
and surely believe in the greatest hope of all.
God will be willing to lead us,
he will pick us up and guide us if we happen to fall."
As I believe in him I see his light for the future from day to day, and I try my hardest to live for him alone.
My value for the light of eternal life
is sometimes hard for others to see,
yet I press on.
For I have learned to press my hardest
for the victory.
Even as the light shines through the darkness,
I will try in all I do to walk with him in that same light of His perfect harmony.

This had an excellent message and I do love this poem. I hope that you will next time use more words that define what the poem is about. In other words give me descriptions. Make me feel ultimately what you feel. The closer I get to the end of the poem the more your emotions should flow through me. Great Write Though.
