I will Rise

I’m not the Sun

I can’t be the sun,
But I can reflect its light,
Because I’m the moon.
I’m not the sun,
But I draw my energy from it,
As a sunflower facing the sun.
You might not see me for who I am,
But that is fine.
I’ll be the sunshine for you,
When you are in the dark,
And can’t see the light of the sun.
When the road is dark at night,
Be assured the sun will rise.
Walk the path that has been set before you,
You will endure even in the darkness,
Because I am the light in your dark.
I look at you and I smile,
Knowing what you have been through.
The storms were brutal,
The waters were tough,
The deserts were dry,
The darkness was profound,
Your eyes were filled with tears.
But the spring of life has liberated you,
From all the trauma and pain.
Now you can walk again,
To illuminate another soul.
