Title: The light of good people.
Post by: Vintage54 on June 30, 2019, 11:38:32 PM
 
                                       The light of good people.

                            The light of good people shines on
                            Long after their own has declined
                            The fire in their eyes that once shone
                            Still burns in the ones left behind

                            In the eyes of their loved ones
                            The eyes of their friends
                            The eyes of each daughter and son
                            And is passed down again
                            To those that come after
                            The light of good people shines on

                            The light of good people shines on
                            Though gone now their breath and their beats
                            It resonates still like sweet music
                            In the fortunate hearts that it reached

                            And just as the moon
                            Transfers to earth
                            The benevolent rays of the sun
                            Likewise their own
                            Goes one to another
                            The light of good people shines on

                            The light of good people shines on
                            Though their bones rest now under the grass
                            Their flame cannot be extinguished
                            By the winds or the shadows that pass

                            All the gold that is found
                            In this ocean of life
                            From their sacred rivers did come
                            Forever enriching
                            Endlessly giving
                            The light of good people shines on.

                                   
                                       Peace and Love
