    That sounds very much like a limerick..

    The beat right down to the minute...

    I like it..

    even in the dark of night

    the light comes seeping through.

    to thine own self be true...

    in whatever you do.

    Indeed, for even the tiniest hint of light can shine within the darkest of hours

    Some things can't be hidden all the time from all people, especially the light of truth.

    For the light inside us

    shines through and guides us

    always there growing from seed.

    Nothing can stop it

    no word and no gesture

    for within it lies our heart and our need.

    yes, stop letting them try to shove your true self down, shine bright.

    (that's how I read this one.) I like the message I received whether or not it was what you had intended.

    we do sometimes pay for letting our light shone, though...

  • Very nice.

    Maybe I am bad with English, but

    S3 L2 - "showed" as opposed to shown ?

    Can't hide the truth. It always finds a way out.

    never let them hide your light, ma and if you need help chipping away, you know there are dozens here who would help, even if it is just with our words, but hope you feel more than that is sent your way.
