Love must be a light
as much as it is a flame
Thoreau
Love should see us through the dark times
It must be a light
Love should fuel our dreams
It must be a flame
In the words of Edna St Vincent Millay:
My candle burns at both end
It will not last the night;
but ah, my foes
and ah my friends
It gives a lovely light
and that's poetiquejustis
let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:16
