    The Light Within

     May your laughter
    bring the warmth
    of the afternoon sun

    May your light
    from within
    shine upon everyone

    May you always
    give freely
    asking nothing in return

    May your symbol
    of truth
    live on and on

    May to continue
    to light the world
    one candle at a time

    Mary this is a great write that's how God said it in His word when He said it while He walked among the people.... It was His love guiding us to do these things and and want nothing in return out of selfishness... red

    Thanks for the aspect of living to please God and others first. The light we have is not our own but a reflection of the Source of the Light that walked among us over 2,000 yrs ago. I am uplifted by words of exhortation that we all need to hear AND be faithful to.
