A Little Light

A Little Light

-by Mikki Brain

In that dark, lonesome place

between a dream dreamed

and a dream realized,

I have left a little light for you

so you will know that someone cares

and believes in your dream.

Just where it becomes the most dark

and difficult to find your way,

there is the light I left for you.

it will light your way through the doubt,

the confusion, and the fears.

It will stay with you all the way

to the realization of your dream.

And when your dream has come true,

please go back to that darkest place

where you have been,

and set the little light there

to give heart to the next trembling soul

that braves the path to its dreams.
