The light that shines so brightly
From deep within my soul,
Will one day need to move on,
To unite; and then be whole.

When that time approaches
And I reach my final day,
I’ll share in all the wisdom,
As I slowly move away.

My earthly needs will dwindle,
At the dawning of the light.
When I stand with veneration,
As I gaze upon the sight.

John Griffiths
