Light Show

I hope this life decides to be kind to you,

I hope it rings your bells and sets off

fireworks in your name.

I hope you’re a fucking light show.

But if my hopes fall short

and you are left in the dark,

I hope you know you are loved,

and I hope you know

that there is no brighter light

than the one that fought its way

through the darkness,

to sit on the shores of a turbulent world

before making its way up

that long spiral staircase

to call our light home.
