"The Light I Tend" is a quiet meditation on the balance between nurturing others and remembering to nurture oneself. Written from the heart of someone who gives deeply, it explores the quiet exhaustion that comes from always being the light in the room - the healer, the comforter, the one who notices what others miss. With gentle yet piercing lines, the poem journeys through the realization that care must also be directed inward. It's a tender reminder that even those who carry light deserve rest, warmth, and to feel seen - not just by others, but by themselves. This piece is for anyone who's ever felt invisible in their giving, who's paused to ask, "What about me?" - and who's learning that they, too, are worthy of the love they so freely give away.
