The Kindred of the Eternal

When night comes
I hold you
in my light.

It is a spiritual light
that never fades.
It is a gentle light
that comforts you,
a friendly light
that companions you,
a compassionate light
which understands your sorrow, ›

a merciful light
that cherishes you
when you err.

In my presence
there is no night,
so stay in my presence.
In my love
there is no darkness,
so stay in my love.
In my goodness
there is no evil,
so stay in my goodness.

As you grow
you will understand
that night
does not come
from me.

You will learn
to know
that I dwell in light
because I am light,
and you dwell in me,
because you are mine,
now, and going forever,
and forever.
