Light

Ellen = Light
what does light do?
it shines
in the darkness
it stands out
in the gloom.

I do not write this
in pride
or conceit.
I'm not looking
for an answer
from any
human being.
Don't want
any praise
or even sympathy.

I simply want
to remind myself
of what
I'm supposed to be
of what
God has made me.

The questions are:
Do I do it,
and do it well?
Do I reflect
all I should?
Do I live
for just one love?
