"Let me be your everlasting light / The sun when there is none..."

Everyone needs someone in their life that they can look at and say 'You are the one person that can always make my day better, no matter what" no matter if that person is just your best friend, your sibling, spouse, friend or mentor. No matter who, everyone deserves to have that feeling of light, everlasting. Their smile warms your heart and they make you laugh, regardless of how you may be hurting. They pick you up out of your darkest places. And in addition to having one of these people, everyone should have the chance to BE this person for someone else.

"...I'm shining just for you / Loneliness is over / Dark days are through..."

If you are going through a dark time in your life, try to find your 'everlasting light' and if that doesnt help you, realize that you are indeed someone else's. You may not know the person vey well, they could be a friend of a friend, but you are their inspiration, possibly even the reason they get out of bed some mornings. While that may sound creepy and stalkerish, think about it. Have you ever had a day where everything seemed way too overwhelming and you just wanted to curl up under the covers and never come out again? Was there perhaps someone you thought of that inspired you to get in gear? Maybe because of a text or call from them, or maybe its because you know they have survived through something a million times worse than you are going through, and they are doing it with a smile on their face, a song in their heart and enough strength to spare for those they care about.

"...Love is the coal / That makes this train roll / Let me be your everlasting light..."

Just remember that no matter what, you are loved. God loves you, someone you are thinking of loves you, someone you barely even know loves you. I love you.

Be at peace, and relax your mind.
