Your Light

Dedicated to my queen

## Your Light

I see you standing in the shadow of a long and weary day,

With a heavy heart and quiet words you don't know how to say.

But even in the darkness, there’s a glow you cannot hide,

The soft and steady brilliance of the soul you keep inside.

I’m here to hold the lantern when your vision starts to fade,

To remind you of the magic that your gentle hands have made.

You are a wonder, darling, and I want the world to see

The same incredible spirit that has meant the world to me.

There is a melody in how you move, a rhythm in your grace,

That brings a sense of heaven to this ordinary place.

When the world is loud and cynical, and tries to dim your spark,

I will be the one who finds your light and guides it through the dark.

You carry such a weight sometimes, with shoulders brave and strong,

But I am here to remind you that this is where you belong.

You are the pulse within my chest, the reason for the song,

A spirit built of starlight that has been here all along.

Look at the miracle of your form, the power in your stride,

There is a divine architecture that you carry deep inside.

Your body is a testament to every storm you’ve braved,

A sanctuary of kindness that the universe has saved.

Do not let the mirror steal the joy from off your face,

For you are a masterpiece of time, of beauty, and of space.

Every line tells a story of a love that’s deep and true,

And I am lost in admiration of the physical soul of you.

So lift your chin a little higher, let the morning see your eyes,

You are the color of the dawn and the fire in the skies.

I love you for the battles won and the ones you’ve yet to fight,

I love you for your morning sun and for your deepest night.

Be encouraged in your purpose, let your confidence take wing,

For you are the most precious and the most holy, living thing.

Walk with the knowledge that you’re cherished, perfectly and whole,

With a beauty that starts on your skin and captures my entire soul.
