Poem

(Thoughts which came as I was walking earlier on this crisp and beautiful Tennessee morning)



Light

(c) By: Sharon Slaton Howell



Light is seen in so many lovely ways:

--in ducks gliding across a pond,
leaving long streaks of
shining in their wake;

--in a little child's happy eyes;

--in a face glowing with love.

But exceeding all that nature
and our fellow beings can show
is that light Jesus promises:
(John 8:12)
"I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall
not walk in darkness, but
shall have the light of life."

The beauty of this Light
can never fade to black.
Its presence and its power
followers of His can never lack.
