You are the light.

Mitchel Fletcher 1982 (Marion, Ky)



You are the light that brightens up my day,
I cry and sob when you are away.

I lay awake all night thinking of you,
and wake up the next day praying to God in my sleep that it will be with you.

I open my eyes to see,
and wonder when will it be.

I ask God to please show me a sign,
then I fall to my knees and start to whine.

I just wish that the day would hurry up and come,
the day when we will become one.

I know in my heart we will stay,
because you are the light that brightens up my day.
