HEART OF LIGHT

There is gold
In your blood
Blue in you
And best of all
When you say How do you do
You mean it too –

Your gold I want not
Your blueblood I wish I could wash out
For it would only be a burden –
But you make me lighter
Each time I see how the people’s eyes shine brighter
When you enter the room.
