My Guiding Light A poem by Lynda Dyer My guiding Light I lay on my bed last night The warmth of air upon me A beam of light came from the sky And shone right then right through me The light moved up my body Like a blanket of love and warmth A smile came upon my face This moment I will keep ‘till dawn I awoke all energised My batteries recharged to go I walked the streets with Thoughts of how the light gave me the know Then tears came rolling down my face I realised at that time The light that shone all over me Was mum’s inspirational sign “Love your work with all your heart This union is for you You’ll continue to inspire more I’ll be here when you do I’ll watch each move and send you love Your purpose always clear To move the world with love and grace You do a “great job dear” It’s time for you to love and live For you have worked so hard My gift to you is guidance now To put your pen to card Like all your brothers and sisters You were born a special child Your love of life and mankind Will shine from you in style So take this light, this love you share And next time moonbeams strike You’ll know I’m not so far away I will always help you write Our stories are what people need To show what they can do Across the globe you’ll reach them all Your now not one…but two Go with my un-devoted love You know you have a gift Your happy humorous way with words Will inspire, move and lift My light will always shine on you As it will for all the others Go make a difference in this world For your sisters and your brothers. For writing was a dream of mine But very rarely done Through you I’ll write my words of love We’ll write like we were one I am so very happy For the new love in your life Enjoy this journey with your work I’ll be your guiding light”
