We Need The Lantern's Light
We surely do.
When darkness fills our lives,
We need the lantern's light.
If we choose to do right,
Jesus will be our guide.
Each time our faith wavers,
It's light will make us strong.
It will be our beacon
Each time we can't go on.
It may seem lightning strikes.
Our hearts feel fragile, torn.
Lantern's light gives us hope
To face adversity.
Lanterns - symbol of love,
And they act as a bridge
Between the present, past,
An everlasting bond.
Lantern's light - therapy
When loved one's pass away.
Each flicker represents
Vibrant memories held dear.
The lantern's light will help
Our testimony grow.
There are so many ways
It helps us on our way.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

This is a beautiful poem, Dala. I especially love: "Lanterns - symbol of love/ And they act as a bridge/ Between the present, past/An everlasting bond."
