I Will Carry Your Light

I lived in the aura of your light 

Illuminating opportunities 

Chasing away shadows 

Providing warmth 

Your words 

Infused with your light 

Walking with me 

In my dark times 

So many sacrifices 

So many times 

You shuttered your light 

To let mine shine through 

My most ardent supporter 

My fiercest defender 

Always nearby in my life 

A consistent light 

The lamp has taken a journey 

To another shore 

To share its unique light 

In the eternal 

All my life 

I have collected your light 

From today 

I will carry your light 

As I travel 

As I live life 

as I walk daily 

I will share your light 

As I visit home 

I will carry your light 

As I go to the places you loved 

I will carry your light 

As I travel to places you dreamed about 

I will carry your light there as well 

I will 

Carry your light
