My Light*

As a baby, a wonderful light radiated from me and I was bathed in its reflection;

As a young child, I turned down the light and that reflection dimmed;

In my teens, I hid still more light as I began to enjoy the shade;

So by my adult years I stood in total darkness, but a black hole in a lonely universe;

Till one day I was shown I was that very light I had so long suppressed;

And once again I bathed in its glorious reflection and my light shone upon everyone.
