kerosene lantern (Free verse) by Freethinker1602
The sun went down
and I was left in twilight
the sun went down
and I was all alone
when the sun went down
I traveled a path
much less trampled
and world weary, that was me
to the right and left
there were dim globes of light
not shining too bright
they kept me company
but I did not rest
I traveled on
on and on
one foot after the last
on and on
the sun was down, I was alone
When the sun went down, I just kept going
Then there was a bright light
it shined for me
it brought me closer, drew me in
there was a man holding a lantern
he showed me what's right
I could have been afraid and strayed
but decided to follow
now the sun comes up
and I am not alone
I have a new best friend
through the dark he will guide me
and we've stopped to rest
and where we stopped to rest
it is where we will pour a foundation
we won't just rest
we will build
it won't just be a cabin but a place we call home
we will build a home
