Beacon of Light

Beacon Of Light

Beacon of light
brightly shines in the night.
Extending a soft, warm glow
round and round, ever so slow.
On this light you can depend.
A badly broken heart it will mend.
Life once a dark void which
day after day Satan toyed.
Saved by God’s mercy and grace
one day to see His face.
To stand at Heaven’s gate eventually
live your days intentionally.
When inside you God’s spirit flows
His light from within you glows.
‘Tis simply a wonderful life to lead
outstretched hand to someone in need.
A life lived just right
can become a beacon of light.

About the Poet
I grew up in rural North Carolina, married for 38 years to my best friend and soulmate, Allen, who retired almost 17 years ago from the Air Force after 24 years of service to our beloved America. We have a daughter, Ashley ( and son-in-law, Kris) and, a son, John, and, our two beautiful grand daughters, Amelia and Haley, and Isaac, our only grandson, all blessings from God. We have four cats; Mr. Peabody, Missy, aka Middle Kitty and Tabby, aka Little Kitty, and Gracie. I've seen a lot of hard times and God has always been here for me to see me through them. I am a vessel God can use to help others in need. If I could be described in one word, it would be that I am an encourager.
