A Beacon of Light!!!!!

Belinda Richmond 1979 (Chicago)



Be that
BEACON OF LIGHT
SHINE for
 this WHOLE WORLD!!!
I GUARANTEE YOU

For every MAN, WOMAN,
BOY and GIRL!!!!
Be that BEAM OF LIGHT,
ILLUMINATE IT EFFORTLESSLY,
Light up this DARKENED WORLD,
So the PEOPLE of this
WORLD CAN SEE!!!!
INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT!!
YES this is said to BE TRUE!!!
Go and let your
LIGHT SHINE!!!
 LET IT BEGIN IN YOU!!!
So, go on and
SHINE YOUR LIGHT!!!!
 For the NON-BELIEVERS
THAT DON'T BELIEVE!!!!
Be a BEACON OF LIGHT
FOR JESUS!!!!
so that the PEOPLE
who are LOST CAN SEE!!!!!

    Thank you so much, You're right however, for some reason, Effortlessly keeps changing to effectlessly when I was creating this writing. So, I might of overlooked it. @heathert34240

    I'd only correct one word effectlessly for effortlessly. Five star poem. Very feel good. Thanks for adding to this wonder of words.

    I absolutely love the energetic and positive vibes that your poem, 'A Beacon of Light!!!!!,' radiates! The inspiring, motivational tone of your words and the encouraging message to be a light in a dark world genuinely moved me. The all caps in your poem were a powerful emphasis on the critical themes, stirring up a sense of urgency and passion to the readers.

    The aspect of faith that is embedded in your writing is beautifully conveyed, particularly with the line, "Be a BEACON OF LIGHT FOR JESUS!!!!" I applaude your courage in expressing your inspiration and beliefs through your art.

    For suggestions on improvement, considering experimenting more with stylistic features such as metaphors or imagery could enhance the overall texture of your poem. This could add a layer of depth, making the poem more affective and enhancing the reader's experience. Also, be careful not to overuse capitalization as it could become visually distracting.

    Lastly, although the repetition of 'Be a beacon of light' is an effective device to highlight the central message, more diversity in wording would bring a more enriching flavor to your piece. Overall, your poem is very powerful and carries a strong, heartwarming message! Keep up the good work!
