This Little Light of Mine


Image by author

















Being on time is not my forte
no land speed records
will ever be attained by,
nor would you set your watch to me.
But life is not a race—
we, each of us, must set our own pace.
If you choose to leave me in the dust,
      So be it!
I will stand up, dust myself off
and set my compass
back to my own true north.
Time is not important
only the journey is…
and our own light shines so much
brighter when we aren’t trying
to hold the candle up to anyone else’s.
