My muse has been asleep
My muse has been absent
I’ve been in a funk
My muse just up and went

Ever since my pup died
I can’t seem to get inspired
In all the world’s turmoil
I think my muse expired

But then I looked around
To see how I am blessed
I told my weary self that
This is just a test

Ah-hah! He never left me
It was I who strayed away
Return to Faith’s assurance
And “Bee a Light” today!

I looked back at days gone by
To a time when I felt fine
And found a helpful poem
I’m adopting today as mine.

It was inspired by His Word
I read the Bible every day
Now I must remember to apply
The Words God has to say!

2 Corinthians 4:6 a

For it is God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness…”

I Can Let My Light Shine
(Written in December 2023)

In a world filled with war and hate
I can shine a light of love from me
In a world filled with animosity and division
I can shine a light of unity

In a world filled with hopelessness and despair
I can lift the lamp of hopefulness
In a world filled with fear and worry
I can shine the joy of faithfulness

I can “bee” a light in the darkness
Because the love of Christ shines through
The grim shadows of despair
And that Light also is in you

As a wonderful God-created child
You are part of a magnificent whole
So let that Spirit buried in you
Shine forth from your blessed soul

Your light shines from the Creator
Just as mine sparkles brightly, too
So fill this world with the light of love
Let’s let love’s light shine from me and you!

Amen

Love,
JanBeek
