My Beacon


~By James Q Soul


Each day that dawns inside my world is similar in some ways,
but each new day also brings a different shining ray.
They come and go, they're good and bad,
they bring both ups and downs,
Today that ray inside my heart makes me smile, and frown.
For today, something new to my everyday way, I have to walk alone,
I no longer have you by my side, my light which would have shone.
I'll walk with strength, I'll walk with courage, I'll keep my head held high,
and when I pass your shining face I shall not let you see me cry.
I'll play a part, I'll smile and laugh, I'll be just as before,
then when I finally let it go I'll be behind closed doors.
You may miss the thing we had, but you hide it better than me,
maybe we'll meet up again, if we were meant to be.
Until then I'll live my life and try to smile through,
and maybe again, when another day dawns, my shining ray will be you
