a little light
by Mary Ellen Smithit was just a little light
hardly bright enough to notice.
she picked it up and kept it lit.
nurturing it with the kindling of her heart.
that heart that had kept her warm all of those years.
and then
that little light caught a spark and flamed to life.
a flood of luminous sunshine
begging a smile
from everyone that was warmed by it.

Yes, you sure are that light. Que's right, it does remind one of that some:
This Little Light of Mine. Sure miss ya. Lots of hugs. :) |
