there were two lights that shone bright in the fields of green
the one was bright in ways that it shadowed the other
that even after the first had snuffed out, its afterglow
shone brilliantly and commandingly that the other cowered
both these lights have come from the same source
both created for great things - illumining a darkening world
each never intended to outshine the other, but together
bring upon this life a freedom from the lurking shadows
In the same way always remember,
let your light shine before humanity
that they may see the good to be found in you
and thereby praise your Father in heaven.
I appreciate moderate constructive criticism
Please do not critique mechanics. The inconsistencies in style are intentional, or correcting them is not important to me.
This found its birth in heart to heart conversations with a very dear friend. I hope it speaks to your heart as well.
