in each of us, there dwells a light the light of love shining ever bright and we shine those lights each and every day but how do we shine those lights, and in what way? do we shine our lights to our kin so that their darkness might not be so dim? do we shine our lights to our friends so that we can share with them a love without end? do we shine our lights to the child who sits on our lap meek and mild? do we shine our lights to the stranger following the example of one born in a manger? all we can do my friends, is pass on our light so that we might brighten someone’s dark night but for some, for some this is only the start, we get a chance to warm their hearts --------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Hi Sven, your light has always shined so brightly friend, and this beauty of a poem is just one more awesome example of your love for the world and I am so glad I have the pleasure of knowing you.

awesome and most tenderly doth the light pass 'tween you and me candle lit, forever bright to share between us all in dark of night in this season of the manger simple reminder to pass to strangers just one light, soft and warm to touch the heart, and keep from harm Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

I spend too much time hiding from the world I forget to shine a light to let them know it will be all right I loved what you wrote. |
