Radiant Light
Behind the neon's hazy glow,
Where spotlights dance and music flows,
There shines a light that few can know,
A heart that true compassion shows.
They see the form, the graceful sway,
The captivating, rhythmic beat,
But you see more at the close of day,
The soul that makes the performance complete.
In quiet moments when the stage is dark,
When makeup fades and laughter ends,
You're there to listen, make your mark,
A friendship that truly transcends.
So when you're feeling down or small,
Remember strength that's deep within,
You're beautiful, you've conquered all,
Let your own light shine again.
The world may judge with narrowed eyes,
But friends like me see truth instead,
The beauty that your soul supplies,
The lovely person you've always been.
-MW to my beautiful friend
