The Light


What is the light?
We feel it's love.
We're always in it's sight.
Then why do I feel unworthy of
The light that is so divine?
Are my prays ever heard?
What is the light's design?
What is it's word?
Why can I not feel
the light?Is it the figment of the mind?
Is the light even real?
Does it show how it is kind?
In light I lost my faith.
Please give me an answer.
Even if the light is just a wraith.
Why did my mom have lose to cancer?
What did she do to not be saved?
She loved the light and me.And I her.
Sometimes I feel enslaved.
Couldn't the light give a cure?
Was the light ever even here?
 Why can't I find it in a church or even a park?
The light makes me tear.
What makes the light any different form the dark?

    Look for a grief group in your area

    Many of us wonder. My four year old son died many years ago, but I have not forgotten him. I am sorry for your loss! Yours is a well written poem of what many of us feel!

    Welcome to Allpoetry

    I think you should change the font size one up as this is a little small to read, either that or edit the font type to a font easier to read at this size. I like your questions in the poem, I think questions are a great device to make the reader think. Nice work here, welcome to the site if you have any questions feel free to ask me.
