The light that shines,
though darkness comes;
The light that shines,
though the sun shines darkly;
The light that shines,
through dark times - through danger;
The brightness that shines,
is a guiding light;
Lift up your eyes,
hope and see;
The light that shines,
though you stumble;
The light that shines,
though justice is far from you;
The brightness that shines,
brings assurance - be not afraid;
Lift up your eyes,
hope and see;
The light that shines,
has set standards;
Just stand be radiant,
be not ashamed he who waits;
The brightness that shines,
reflects the acceptance.

ABOUT THE POET ~
Barbara B-Miles Jackson, born in 1948, grew up in Texas, studied poetry as a student in school. The poetry of other poets inspired me to go forward, changing myself when I could not change my situation. I one child and two grandchildren., Later needing a way of expression and focus, I turned to writing poems. Writing reminds me, we must travel through life situations with as much grace and dignity as possible., I started writing in 1995 for an Open Poetry Contest with National and International Library of Poetry. Most In the US and other in Europe.
