As the world turns,
as it starts to shimmer,
the shimmer dims and becomes a glimmer.
And that glimmer is the most important thing of all,
because it means the darkness has yet to fall.
It means there is still hope, peace, and love left in our world,
and it also means that smiles still rain down from above.

Please don't let the glimmer go.

It was ok. My suggestion would be not to make the sentences so long. Also in the beginning I would have worded it as:

As the world turns,

It starts to shimmer.

The shimmer dims,

Becoming a glimmer.
