The lantern, the light
I keep you on to light my path
The darkness, it spites
I hear mockery in the black
But your light gives me sight
And the world goes to the back
The lantern, the light
My early morning delight
I keep you elevated
Please, shine above my head
Not for anything of mine
But your light to spread
The lantern, the light
I wait with you for the coming
You’ve become my companion
The truth of why I’m living
Speak and I’ll listen
Speak to keep me breathing
The Lantern, The Light

Poet's note: This is a gospel poem of what the word of God and Holy Spirit is to me. How he’s more than just a book or feeling, but also a light necessary for seeing.
