Let Your Light Shine

I have 3 beautiful and artistic daughters, two who I welcomed into my heart through birth and one who I welcomed into my heart through marriage.  My middle daughter (age 9) took the picture above on Oct 24.  At four in the morning on Oct 25 I awoke, and these words were on my heart.  Knowing this moment would be gone if I continued my slumber, I arose and wrote for my girls.  Upon reflecting, I realize it’s for me as well.

Just because people
Aren’t doing it
Or wouldn’t approve
Don’t let that stop you
Always let your Light shine through
Not with the goal of being brighter
Than others
But for the purpose of
Illuminating the path
