Remember You Are A Vessel Of Light To Extinguish The Night Poem by Mark Heathcote

Today, I was at odds with everything.
Tomorrow, I shall be equal with at least one
I'll draw light into my heart lovingly.
Even when it's dark, even at night.

Remember, there are more-
Stars to be thankful for
When it's dark all around you,
You are surrounded by light, both day and night.

Remember, there are more reasons.
To be happy and cheerful with your life
Then, there is the need to cry in despair about your plight.
Remember, you are a vessel of light to extinguish the night.

Today, I was at odds with everything.
But tomorrow, I shall love even the sinner in me.
To be equal with at least one thing
Something close to me, the true me.

Remember to smile and shut that serpent out.
Out of your life
That rock he wears as a crown can be broken
Thrown away to let in the light, even if it's night.

Remember, there are more reasons.
To be happy and cheerful with your life
Then, there is the need to cry in despair about your plight.
Remember, you are a vessel of light to extinguish the night.
