Image for the poem The Joy of Light

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

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.
