You have not lit my life As the sun illuminates the day. But, Like the little lamp You shed a gentle radiance That suffuses the gloomy void in my heart. Like the steady north star, Your comforting presence Always, Guides my faltering step And unerringly leads me To my lost self. An effulgent loveliness within you Brings out the best in me And Without chains or stranglehold, Binds me to you In the flightless freedom of Friendship.
