I opened my eyes and beheld the light,
The most beautiful gift gracing my sight.
Not a day goes by without my heart sighing,
For the thought of goodbye feels like dying.

The light breathes life into my weary soul,
To part from it feels like losing the whole.
But one day, I drifted far away,
And my heart shattered with each broken day.

In the shadows, I lingered too long,
A place where I knew I didn't belong.
I clawed my way back, step by step,
Though every inch was a trial I wept.

My eyes yearned for that radiant glow,
The first sunlight I had come to know.
Years passed in darkness, cold and stark,
While shadows threatened to pull me apart.

Too weak, too broken to stand and fight,
Until the light returned with its might.
It cradled me tight, so fierce and bright,
Banishing the darkness with unyielding light.

Damn! This feels so vividly right,
Never again will I lose that sight.
For this, I swear with all my might:
This light is my everlasting birthright.
