The Light
(for MoonWolf, Mar 2023)
The day you came, you held the space—
you wanted to know my pain.
You gave your time, your listening will,
and nothing was in vain.
A hold so strong, yet gentle too,
a heart I understood.
Your words were kind, your arms were warm,
they made me feel so good.
You carried others’ sorrow well,
and knew how to set it free.
A gift, I think, the universe
was sending down to me.
A freedom, a safe and sacred place,
a journey just begun,
to find the child I’d lost inside
and heal what fear had done.
I love you like an angel, one
who came with only care—
a love that asks for nothing back,
yet teaches how to share.
You took my hands, you gave me hope
that I could still belong,
you kept me safe, you helped me see
that I was always strong.
The fear that chained me slowly eased,
the knots began to part,
you showed me light I’d almost lost,
and peace within my heart.
If I had never met your soul,
my light I’d never see;
you gave me love that set me free—
a star that shines in me.
I fear the day that I might lose,
that I’ll be left alone…
but still I hope you’ll hold me close
so light can carry on.
Stay with me, and I will be strong,
I’ll weather any storm.
An anchor set in eternity,
you kept my spirit warm.
You gave a light, a gift of grace,
and if it’s meant to be—
I pray you felt a shining spark
reflecting back from me.
