Her Light

Cast no suspicion

Or rebellious shadows

Defying cravings harkened

By jealousy and hate

Her soul aware, mindful

Willing and forgiving

Never doubting or

Relinquishing her promise

Never letting go

Of her dignity's resolve

Unwavering, releasing

Shoulders frantic weight

Facing inward, unafraid

Trusting her inner-self

Radiating hope, sharing

Her contagious light.
