The light that's you

Shariq Basardien, Eastridge and Beacon Hill High School pupil

The Light That’s You

You don’t need crowns or silver rings

To prove the glow your soul can bring

For even quiet hearts can shine

And turn the dark to something divine

You’ve carried pain, yet softly smiled,

Held broken dreams but still stayed kind,

The world may never truly see,

How rare your heart was meant to be.

In moments small, you change the air,

A gentle word, a loving stare,

You lift the lost, you calm the fear,

You’re warmth itself when hope feels near.

So never doubt the light you give,

The love that teaches hearts to live,

For in this world of many hue,

There’ll never be another you.
