Keep oil in your lantern
Poem about the light in your soul
Make sure there is oil in your lantern
Don't allow the light to ever lose its burn
The glow should be ever shining in your heart
No matter where your path shall turn
In darkness it will be your guide
A lamp unto your feet
If you should slip or slide
Your light will prevent defeat
Keep your lantern full of oil
And it shall light your way
Through danger, trials and toil
In the night seasons and during the day
Allow your lantern to shine
In the darkness of this earth
Your soul it will refine
And give you a second birth
Don't hide the lantern's light
Or be caught without any oil
Keep it lit and bright
And your adversaries you will foil

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
