Light.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Light....

Rating: 5.0


Light....

in our tree
green like never before
one light does not light up

it does not stand out
it is not in front
actually, no one who sees it

the light is on
not a piece or something
it just does not give light

and we....
we let it happen
it is not in sight

but somewhere
during the night
when all other lights go out

we sometimes see
unexpected and almost unbelievable

that one light
quietly sparkle
warmer, nicer than the rest

and we know again
that every light
wants to shine and not just with Christmas....


This poem is donated to me and to my colleagues by the Friends Service "Op Stap" from the Group GGNet in Warnsveld, the Netherlands, as thanks for our years of commitment to volunteering work.
