A Light Within: A Poem

 In the shadows where sorrow lays, A flicker of hope ignites the haze. Though tears may fall like rain from skies, Within your heart, a spark still lies. These weeks have felt like heavy chains, But every storm will fade with gains. Let go of burdens, embrace the light, You’re stronger than this endless night. With every breath, a chance to rise, To chase your dreams, to touch the skies. So take a step, however small, For in each moment, you stand tall. Health and happiness, your guiding stars, Shine bright above, no matter how far. Hold onto goals that fill your soul, You have the strength to reach your goal. So breathe in hope, let worries fade, In every heartbeat, a new path laid. You’re on a journey, each day a gift, Embrace the love, let your spirit lift.
