Light, Lovely Light

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,


        --The setting sun in a forest.


        But exceeding all that God's
        Wondrous creation can show
        Is that light Jesus promises:


        "He that followeth me shall
          Not walk in darkness, but
          Shall have the light of life."

                           (John 8:12)
