The Joy of Light
The light of life we have in thee
A gift from heaven it must be
Do not let the light go out
then the devil with glee will shout
Hold on tight to that joyous light
Then you'll have the clearest sight
For if dimmed you let it be
The devils hand he'll hold out for thee
For If his hand you should reach
You'll no longer have your speech
All from you he'll take away
No more light to shine the way
If for you this poem speaks
Then take your light out to the street
Share your light with those around
So satins hand no more will be found
A gift from heaven it must be
Do not let the light go out
then the devil with glee will shout
Hold on tight to that joyous light
Then you'll have the clearest sight
For if dimmed you let it be
The devils hand he'll hold out for thee
For If his hand you should reach
You'll no longer have your speech
All from you he'll take away
No more light to shine the way
If for you this poem speaks
Then take your light out to the street
Share your light with those around
So satins hand no more will be found

Author's Note
Let your light shine. Share your flame with those who have lost theirs or whose light is dimmed. Help bring them away from satins hand.

This poem convey a different message to me seriously speaking ....THIS LIGHT OF LIFE reminds me a of a passage I love so much in the holy scriptures ______You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

You are right! As I finished writing this, the song from my childhood came to mind. "This little light of mine" I love how when I finish a poem im able to see what I've written in its entirety.
