If your light is faint and you want to shine the brightest
light,
The smartest thing to do is to find the darkest night,
A pitch dark night swallowed up every trace of light in his life,
As he groped through treacherous paths asking and making her
his wife,
He held her hand and began to glow as if he had swallowed a
bulb in one big gulp,
And then he started to shine as if sourced by light brighter
than a thousand suns,
He wasn’t that bright, just that it was so much darker
around them,
Even a flicker of light was enough to keep them going,
He suddenly remembered how he walked out of solitary
confinement,
Into the larger prison yards and felt as if freedom rang
from every wall,
You will appreciate the littlest of things when you are in
total lack,
In plenty you dismiss the littlest precious gifts with
curses and many barks,
So sometimes the sole purpose of your lack is to feed you a
humble pie,
And bring you a happiness pill wrapped in packs of gratitude
for the littlest things,It can make you feel like you deserve a Nobel price for gratitude!
