MY LITTLE LIGHT (UPDATED WITH SCRIPTURE)

IF NO ONE KNOWS THEM,
THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF FEARS?
IF NO ONE SEES THEM,
THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF TEARS?
WHAT'S THE POINT OF WRITING
IF NO ONE HEARS?

CRYING, FEARFUL, PETRIFIED, 
 I CAN STILL WRITE.
I OPEN MY SOUL,
I OPEN MY BROKEN HEART
SO YOU CAN SEE
THAT PART OF ME
THAT HURTS,
BURNS,
LONGS
TO BE ACCEPTED,
TO BE LOVED
BY ANYONE.

BUT AFTER SIXTY YEARS
 I KNOW THE ONLY ONE
WHO CAN LOVE ME
THE WAY I NEED,
NAY DESIRE
TO BE LOVED,
NAY ACCEPTED,
IS THE ONE WHO MADE ME.
HIS NAME IS JESUS.
AND I WILL LET MY LITTLE LIGHT SHINE
ALWAYS.

MATTHEW 5:16

IN THE SAME WAY,

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE BEFORE OTHERS,

THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD DEEDS

AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.
